My research explores connections, relationships and interactions between Britain and China from 1600 until the First Opium War (1839–1842).
My new book project focuses on Britain’s involvement in slavery and human trafficking in the Indian Ocean and South China Sea between 1600 and 1850. Methodologically,
I am interested in playing with scale in history and experimenting with the intersection between global and local, macro and microhistory.
