Current Research Interests:
My research and teaching interests concern environmental histories of the modern world. In particular, I am interested in the intersections of environmental history with the histories of medicine, science, technology, and politics in East and Southeast Asia. My dissertation, “Forests without Birds: Science, Environment, and Health in French Colonial Vietnam” examines the histories of agricultural science, colonial medicine, and Vietnamese nationalism on the rubber plantations of French Indochina from 1890 to 1954. I am currently working on a book manuscript that explores the imbricated histories of plants and humans in Vietnam during the twentieth century.
