Overview
I am broadly interested in the history of the British Empire in South and Southeast Asia, with a primary focus on British India and Malaya in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. For my research, I am tracing a ‘transnational’ legal history of child protection across British Asia and the metropole, examining childhood as a broader arena for debating imperialism, subjecthood, gender, and the emergence of global ‘norms’ in family and international law.
