Ten weeks as an AFS student on a rice farm in Japan led MacPherson to lasting interests in environmental education and Asian studies. A member of the faculty since 1982, she earned her undergraduate degree from Earlham College, where she spent a year studying at Tokyo's Waseda University, and later earned an M.L.S. at the University of Michigan. She is the author of an annotated bibliography on Women in Japanese Society.
