Overview
Miriam Silverberg was a historian specializing in modern Japan and a member of the Hamilton College History faculty. She later became a professor at UCLA and is known for her work on Japanese popular culture and modernity, including her book “Erotic Grotesque Nonsense.”
Relevance to Research
Silverberg is listed in the 1988-89 Hamilton College catalog as a member of the Women’s Studies Committee, alongside faculty from Anthropology, Philosophy, Comparative Literature, and Government. She is identified as representing the History department on that interdisciplinary committee.
Notes
The catalog entry places her clearly as Hamilton faculty in the History department during the 1988-89 academic year. Her role on the Women’s Studies Committee suggests interdisciplinary involvement beyond her home department.
