New guest researcher at NIAS
NIAS welcomes new guest researcher Bernard Z. Keo!
Bernard Z. Keo is Lecturer in Asian History at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. He investigates decolonisation and nation-building in post-World War II Malaya and Singapore, focussing particularly on the trajectory of the Peranakan Chinese of the Straits Settlements in Malaya's path to independence with further interests in the Malayan Emergency, transnational connections across the Malay world, and the end of empire in Southeast Asia.
Bernard has been given an office space at NIAS and will be with us until the end of November. Welcome Bernard!
