Hirokazu Miyazaki is the Kay Davis Professor of Anthropology at Northwestern University. Previously, he served as Director of the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies and John S. Knight Professor at Cornell University (2015–2018). He holds a PhD in Anthropology from the Australian National University (1998), focusing on Fiji and the Pacific Islands. His research spans sociocultural anthropology, economic anthropology, and the anthropology of finance, with a focus on hope, peace activism, nuclear disarmament, and citizen diplomacy.
Key affiliations include the Center for Peace at Hiroshima University (Research Associate) and the Nagasaki Peace Correspondent role (2018–present). His work bridges ethnography with philosophy, addressing themes like nuclear weapons abolition, post-Fukushima Japan, and Fiji’s land rights struggles.
Research interests include:
- Anthropology of money and finance
- Peacebuilding and nuclear diplomacy
- Citizen diplomacy (e.g., U.S.-Japan doll exchanges)
- Hope as a theoretical and practical framework
Recent articles emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to peace, nuclear policy, and financial systems. His book projects include Arbitraging Japan (finance and capitalism) and studies of Nagasaki’s peace activism. Miyazaki’s work critiques capitalism while advocating for intergenerational justice and transnational collaboration.
