Jaundrill's research examines the violent transition from Tokugawa shogunate to Meiji state, focusing on samurai experiences during the Boshin War and subsequent military modernization. His work critically analyzes how commemoration practices shape historical memory of Restoration-era violence, with particular attention to social mobility illusions within warrior class structures. Core methodologies integrate archival analysis of military reforms with cultural studies of violence memorialization.
Publication trends reveal consistent focus on Toba-Fushimi battle legacies (2020-2021) and long-term military institutional transformation (2012-2016), demonstrating evolution from domain-level studies (Chōshū) to national commemorative frameworks. All works intersect military history with social anthropology of conflict.
