    Research Interests:
    In a broad sense, I'm interested in the intersections of society, economy, and politics in colonial Southeast Asia, and in following these intersections into the postcolonial era.  Expressed more concretely, I look at the interactions among society, state, and large enterprises/trading networks.  Much of my work focuses on illegal or controlled commodities or services, most notably alcohol, but also related things like food, drugs, prostitution, and gambling.  And alongside all of this, I have an abiding interest in the ethnography of ordinary life in Southeast Asia, and in documenting how ordinary folks have made their way and lived their lives, from the colonial era until the present.
