Norma Field, retired from the University of Chicago as Ingersoll Distinguished Service Professor of Japanese Studies in 2012. The Fukushima nuclear disaster reactivated questions going back to the time she first saw images of atomic bomb victims in her Tokyo girlhood. How can human beings make such devices, keep making them, and keep living with the consequences?  On Fukushima, she has translated the booklet ‘Fukushima Radiation: Will You Still Say No Crime Was Committed?’ (2015), written many articles, and with a colleague, maintains The Atomic Age bilingual news blog.
