I study entrepreneurship in emerging economies from a historical perspective. My research focuses on Southeast Asia, a region that was colonized by Western imperial powers. I am interested to know how a cosmopolitan society of local and migrant entrepreneurs interacted and adapted to shifting ideas of nation-state and the economy in the colonial and postcolonial era.
