My major interest is intercultural interactions in East and Southeast Asia. My first book focuses on the history of Taiwan, where European and Chinese expansion met and resulted in a sort of symbiotic colonialism. Europeans provided a military, administrative, and legal infrastructure that Chinese colonists used to expand their agricultural and hunting activities. I am currently working on two other projects. The first explores Sino-European contact in East and Southeast Asia, focusing on Malacca, Singapore, Jakarta, and Manila. The second attempts to reconsider our understanding of colonialism in world history by comparing European expansion to Asian counterexamples. I teach widely in Chinese and global history. My most popular courses include Modern China (HIST 373), Comparisons and Encounters (HIST 489), and The Middle Kingdom (HIST 489).
