    SHASS welcomed six new faculty to the School, including @MIT_MTA professor Makoto Harris Takao.
    An image of Makoto Harris Takao, the Class of 1957 Professor in the MIT Music and Theater Arts Section.
    An image that reads "Working at the intersection of cultural history, religious studies, and musicology, Makoto Harris Takao, the Class of 1957 Career Development Professor, maps Japan’s entanglement with other world regions over the past 500 years. His current book project, “The Clef and the Cross: Music and Kirishitan Transculturation in Sixteenth-Century Japan,” asks what early modern Japanese Catholicism sounded like and how it was understood and expressed through Buddhist frameworks of sound, music, and movement. Takao completed a joint PhD in history and musicology at the University of Western Australia."
