<span style="font-family: "New serif", serif; color: black;" class="ContentPasted0">The “Aftermath of the East Asian War of 1592-1598” project is a five year, European Research Council Starting Grant project (2018-2023) run by ICREA professor Rebekah Clements
at the </span><span style="font-family: "New serif", serif; color: black;" class="ContentPasted0" lang="EN-AU">Department of Translation, Interpreting, and East Asian Studies at the
</span><span style="font-family: "New serif", serif; color: black;" class="ContentPasted0">Autonomous University of Barcelona. The project seeks to understand the legacy of the East Asian War of 1592-1598, also known as the Imjin War and Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s
invasions of Korea. Aftermath will be the first large scale investigation to combine Japanese, Korean, and Chinese sources in order to understand, not the war itself, but something which is arguably even more important: the aftermath and its implications for
early modern East Asia. Our research focuses on three themes; Social change / Environment and economy / Diffusion of Technology. <span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:none windowtext 0cm;padding:0cm" class="ContentPasted0">For more information
