Broadly speaking, I am interested in global history of anticolonialism as well as cultural and intellectual history of Southeast and South Asia. My current book project uses British Malaya as an entry point to demonstrate how smaller colonies strove together for freedom and independence in the mid-twentieth century. Meanwhile, I have been preparing journal articles about the Indian National Army and the anticolonial movements in the British imperial metropole. Prior to these projects, in 2019, I published the book, Geopolitics and Film Censorship in Cold War Hong Kong (Taipei: Monsoon Zone).

Drawing on my experience as a first-generation student, a historian, and a musician, I am passionate about assisting students in learning how to learn and sparking their interests in the wider world.
