Recherche

I am currently a member of the Department of History, School of
Oriental and African Studies (U. of London), where I teach Southeast
Asian History. My research focuses upon the premodern cultural
(inc. religious and literary) history of Burma, Southeastern Bengal,
and the Straits of Melaka and the role of migration and settlement
patterns in Burma's early modern history. I have special research
interests in the history of the Dawei, Chinese, Mon, and Rakhine in
Burma and in the migration of Burmese abroad (particularly to Penang,
Singapore, Kyushu, and North America). Prior to joining the faculty at
SOAS, I held a postdoctoral fellowship with the Centre for Advanced
Studies and the Institute of Asian Research (Singapore), where I
conducted research on issues of cultural globalization, Burmese and
Chinese transnational migration and their cultural adaptation to host
societies, and the emergence of religious identities/communalism in
Southeast Asia. Other research interests include the history of
indigenous science and technology in Asia, particularly technologies
involved in Southeast Asia's coastal and river shipping, and the
history of indigenous Southeast Asian warfare.
