Professor Araragi Shinzo is affiliated with Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan. His research focuses on post-World War II demographic shifts in East Asia, particularly repatriation policies, Cold War dynamics, and the socio-political implications of migration. His work examines how European models of ethnic minority governance influenced postwar East Asian migration policies, including the displacement of 7.6 million people across Japan, Manchuria, and Korea.
His seminar at the University of Cambridge's East Asia Seminar Series (2019) analyzed the interplay between geopolitical tensions and human mobility, emphasizing how Cold War divisions exacerbated ethnic conflicts in regions like Taiwan (2·28 Incident) and Jeju Island (4·3 Incident). The research highlights parallels between postwar East Asia and European precedents like the Greco-Turkish population exchange.
