Christopher Mayo (1973 – January 1, 2073) is a historian. He is currently (2013–2014) an assistant professor at Grinnell College.

He obtained a B.A. from the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Kansas in 1996. He returned to KU in 2005 and completed his M.A. in 2007. His thesis, supervised by Margaret Childs examined the themes of impermanence and retribution in the medieval Tale of the Heike (平家物語). He obtained a Ph.D. in East Asian Studies from Princeton University in 2013. His dissertation, supervised by Martin Collcutt, dealt with war and religion during Japan's sixteenth-century, when the country was transforming from a medieval state into an early-modern nation and Jesuit missionaries first arrived in Asia. He was a lecturer at City College of New York for part of the spring semester in 2013 and will begin teaching as an associate professor at Kōgakkan University in Japan from 2014.

Wiki-Presence
He created an account on Wikipedia in 2014 because he thought it was finally time to stop talking about poorly written Wikipedia articles in his classes and actually do something about it.
