Fabian Drixler teaches Japanese history, particularly focusing on cultural history and historical demography. His dissertation, 'Infanticide and Fertility in Eastern Japan: Discourse and Demography, 1660-1880' (Harvard 2008), explores the rise and destruction of premodern society and the couples who raised children. Drixler's work highlights the role of contingency and individual agency in demographic history, connecting population patterns to changing understandings of human life, political space, and the nature of time. He offers a range of courses, including History 327J 'Navigating Life in Nineteenth-Century Japan', History 885 'Readings in Japanese History 1600', History 306 'East Asia, 500-Present' (with Peter Perdue), and History 325J 'Infanticide and Foundlings in Asia and Europe, 1900'.
