Biographical statement
I am currently completing a major project on historical shifts in Thai understandings of gender and sexuality from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present.

Together with Dr Rachel Harrison (Thai literature, School of Oriental and African Studies, London), I am working on a study of the relationship of Thailand's semi-colonial status in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to changes in elite and popular culture.

This project is being funded by a four-year grant from the Academy for the Humanities Research Board (UK).

Thai cultural history; history of sexuality and sexual cultures; Buddhism and religious studies.
