Biography

Jansen was born in Vleuten in the Netherlands to Gerarda and Bartus Jansen, a florist who moved his family to Johnston, Rhode Island in the fall of 1923.[3] Jansen grew up in Massachusetts and graduated from Princeton in 1943, having majored in European history of the Renaissance and Reformation. The same year, he began serving in the Army, studying Japanese and working in the Occupation of Japan.[4] He completed his PhD in history at Harvard in 1950, studying Japan with Edwin O. Reischauer and China with John K. Fairbank. His dissertation dealt with the interactions of the two countries and was published as The Japanese and Sun Yat Sen in 1954.[5]

He was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences[2] and president of the Association for Asian Studies in 1976.
