Our long-term member, Professor Koji Mizoguchi, was recently elected as an International Fellow of the British Academy.

Koji Mizoguchi is the Professor of Archaeology at Kyushu University's Faculty of Social and Cultural Studies. He is the first Japanese archaeologist and the first researcher from Kyushu University to receive this honour. Over the past decades as a social archaeologist, Mizoguchi has analysed materials such as artefacts, architecture, and human remains to reconstruct how people lived, interacted, and organised their societies. His work aims to uncover the stories behind historical artefacts and experiences, understanding how knowledge is produced and its impact on both past and present societies.
