SUMMARY:Risa Kitagawa (Northeastern University)\, "Legacies of Wartime Sexual Violence: Evidence from World War II 'Comfort Stations'"
DESCRIPTION:U.S. ET: April 11 (Thursday)\, 8 – 9 PM \nJST: April 12 (Friday)\, 9 – 10 AM \nZoom Registration: Link \nPaper is available here. \nAuthors: Risa Kitagawa (Northeastern University) and Sumin Lee (Texas A&M University). \nAbstract:\nWhat are the long-term effects of wartime sexual violence on trust? We argue that whereas sexual violence reinforces perceptions of state absence\, it compels affected communities to turn to kinship and social bonds for communal coping\, building social trust over time. We provide evidence from original geocoded data of over 4\,000 “comfort stations” across Asia—the Japanese Imperial Army’s institution of sexual slavery during World War II. Our cross-national and sub-national tests get analytical leverage from prewar railroad networks as a treatment assignment mechanism and the rarity of postwar repatriation of “comfort women.” Proximity to historical “comfort stations” sites consistently predicts a higher likelihood of social trust today\, but not political trust. We document causal mechanisms through historical oral testimonies. Some consequences of wartime sexual violence may follow a distinct logic from broader conflict\, as communities rely on social ties to survive the stigmatized trauma of rape. \nPresenter: Risa Kitagawa (Northeastern University) \nDiscussant: Eun A Jo (Cornell University and University of Notre Dame) \nChair: Daniel M. Smith (University of Pennsylvania)

SUMMARY:Toshiaki Yoshida (Northeastern University)\, "Entangled Fishermen: Fishing Industry and The Evolution of Anti-nuclear Power Plant Movements in Japan"
DESCRIPTION:U.S. ET: April 25 (Thursday)\, 8 – 9 PM \nJST: April 26 (Friday)\, 9 – 10 AM \nZoom Registration: Link \nPaper is available here. \nAuthor: Toshiaki Yoshida (Northeastern University) \nAbstract:\nWhile Japan has the most advanced nuclear power plant program in the world\, residents have long resisted attempts to site nuclear facilities in their backyards. This article analyzes conditions that have impacted the outcome of these movements since 1960. The analysis of a dataset spanning 32 towns’ movements shows that the existence of capital-intensive fishing was detrimental to movement success. This happened because (1) capital-intensive fishing breeds a dominant boss\, thereby inducing a vertical decision-making process in social movement organizations of key stakeholders; (2) resulting movements led by a single\, salient leader create identifiable targets for pro-nuclear groups; and (3) offshore fishing is susceptible to changes in the external environment\, including the Oil Shock in the 1970s. This study allows us to better understand the relationship between the strength of social movements and the organizational character of key stakeholders. \nPresenter: Toshiaki Yoshida (Northeastern University) \nDiscussant: Phillip Y. Lipscy (University of Toronto) and Pinar Temocin (University of Tokyo) \nChair: Saori Katada (University of Southern California)
