If you would like to hear more about my work, I will be presenting my research at three upcoming events:

  • “Multiple Diasporas: The Class and Geopolitical Dimensions of Chinese Migration to Malaya and Singapore,” a panel hosted by Cornell University’s Southeast Asia Program (Ithaca, December 2025)

  • “Anticommunism in World History,” a panel that I co-organized at the American Historical Association Annual Meeting (Chicago, January 10, 2026)

  • A panel on migration and citizenship in the 1960s hosted by The Belonging Lab, organized by Kalyani Ramnath in the Department of History at Columbia University (via Zoom, March 2026).
