Our second guest in the series is Dr Sherzod Muminov, Lecturer in Japanese History at the University of East Anglia. This interview with Dr Muminov was recorded in February 2020, shortly before the coronavirus pandemic reached the UK; the pandemic subsequently impacted our team's ability to record a joint introduction as planned. We hope you enjoy the podcast despite the technical challenges!

Many thanks to Dr Muminov for sparing his time.
