Kären Wigen
Kären Wigen (born 1958) is an American historian and geographer, Frances and Charles Field Professor of History, Stanford University, who specializes in East Asia. She teaches Japanese history and history of cartography.
==Education and career==
Kären Wigen graduated from University of Michigan in 1980, where she studied Japanese Literature, then earned her doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley in the field of geography in 1990.
Her first book, ''The Making of a Japanese Periphery, 1750-1920'' (1995), explored southern Nagano Prefecture in Japan and how the silk industry transformed it. She also studied that locality in her second book, ''A Malleable Map: Geographies of Restoration in Central Japan, 1600-1912''(2010), exploring the roles of cartography, chorography, and regionalism. Her third book, ''The Myth of Continents: A Critique of Metageography'' (1997), co-authored with Martin Lewis, explains why the present system of classifying certain landmasses as "continents" is comparatively recent and derived more from historical accident and political concerns than from natural geographical features. Her latest project is another collaboration, ''Cartographic Japan: A History in Maps'', with co-editors Sugimoto Fumiko and Cary Karacas (forthcoming 2016).
