Personal profile
Research
I am a PhD candidate researching the colonisation of land in 17th-century Indonesia by the Dutch East India Company. Specifically, I am looking at (violent transformations in) social and political institutions, landownership, slavery, resistance, and ecology on the Banda Islands and West Java. Other research interests include the history of capitalist expansion and its ecological, racial, and gendered dimensions; the histories of Dutch slavery and colonialism; and the heritage and memory of colonialism and slavery.
