Elizabeth Dorn Lublin grew up in Dayton, OH. After receiving her B.A. from Yale University in 1991, she completed an M.A. in Japanese Studies at the University of Michigan in 1994 and then a Ph.D. in modern Japanese history from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa in 2003. Her current research focuses on moral and social reform movements in late 19th and early 20th-century Japan. More specifically, she examines the efforts of Christians and women to "correct" public and private behavior, along with their interactions with the state and use of the imperial institution and war to further their aims. She has published a number of articles on the Japan Woman’s Christian Temperance Union and is now making final revisions to her manuscript on the society. While in the classroom, she teaches about modern East Asia, women in Japan, and the contemporary world.
