Yuki Miyamoto is an ethicist whose work centers on nuclear discourse and environmental ethics through the framework of comparative ethics. Her book Naze genbaku ga aku dewa nainoka (Iwanami, 2020) illustrates the divergence of nuclear discourse in the U.S. and Japan, examining the American perception of “the nuclear” in religious, educational, and popular cultural scenes. She is also the author of A World Otherwise: Environmental Praxis in Minamata (Lexington, 2021) which investigates the environmental ethics of a community that suffered methylmercury pollution in Minamata, Japan.
