Ariel Stilerman
Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures
BioI study premodern Japan through its manuscripts, objects, and languages.
I advocate for a “maker mindset” in the humanities. My research is just as much about building and doing as about reading and writing. My courses involve hands-on experiences and are often co-taught with colleagues in Classics, English, Religion, History, Mechanical Engineering, or Physics.
My first book, Court Poetry and the Culture of Learning in Japan (Harvard, 2026), charts the transformation of the poetry of the imperial court into a shared language for military and priestly elites, lower-ranking warriors, and eventually urban merchants.
My second project, Meet the People Who Built Japan, investigates the emergence of a “culture of work” in early medieval manuscripts and artifacts.
I welcome inquiries from students interested in classical through early modern Japanese literature through the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, as well as those pursuing transdisciplinary work through the program in Modern Thought and Literature, and grad makers in the humanities through Making and Creative Praxis.
More broadly, I am interested in how we engage with the world through our senses and skills, exploring fields such as the tea ceremony, psychoanalysis, woodworking, sailing, olfactory cultures, technology, and design. -
Maxi Corona Stiller
Affiliate, Psychology
BioMaxi is a Masters student in Clinical Psychology at the University of Technology Dresden, Germany. Her research explores how emotional processes influence mental health, combining insights from clinical psychology, affective science, and neuroscience. She has a particular interest in fMRI and has previously studied neural activity and connectivity related to emotion processing and regulation in early-onset depression. As part of her Master’s thesis, she is currently working at the Stanford Psychophysiology Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. David Preece and Prof. James Gross. Her work there centers on understanding mechanisms behind alexithymia, with a focus on its neural underpinnings and the role of experiential avoidance. Maxi is passionate about bridging clinical practice and research. In the long term, she hopes to contribute to more personalized and effective treatments by integrating physiological markers into psychological care.

Colin Edward Stinson
Head, Preservation, Preservation
BioColin Stinson protects and provides access to one of the world’s greatest collections of materials on war, revolution, and peace. His focus is the intralogistics related to mass-digitization and conservation science (cultural heritage). Colin has a double master’s degree in sculpture + photography and a wide range of museum collections and exhibitions experience, which includes the successful completion of a multi-year project at Stanford’s Cantor Arts Center to digitize the museum’s encyclopedic collection, the reinstallation of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the development of an installations department at UC Davis’ Shrem Museum. He has been responsible for the care and handling of objects at the Anderson Art Collection, (now a dedicated museum building on campus), and spent a portion of his career at a product design engineering firm founded by former leaders in Apple’s industrial design and engineering teams.
