Sachi Schmidt-Hori is assistant professor in the Department of Asian Societies, Cultures, and Languages at Dartmouth College. She is interested in investigating how gender, sexuality, corporeality, and power are represented and negotiated in pre-seventeenth-century Japanese narratives and illustrations. Her current project is on medieval chigo monogatari (Buddhist acolyte tales), which often depict romantic relationships between Buddhist priests and adolescent boys.
