Research interests
Broadly speaking my research covers the areas of global history, material culture studies, colonial Latin American history and the emerging new field of global Asian studies. I focus on the early modern period and am particularly interested in how we think about the connections between people, places and things in that era. I specialize on the connections between colonial Latin America and Asia and have found it especially useful to use the methdologies and approaches of material culture studies to investigate the connection between the two regions.
