Dr. Jason Petrulis is an Assistant Professor of Global History at the Education University of Hong Kong. He is a historian of global capitalism, broadly conceived, whose book in progress, _Wig: A Global History, 1958-1979_, uses a curious commodity as a “lens” on Asian industrialization. _Wig_ draws on archival, library, and field research at sites ranging from India and Hong Kong to the US and Singapore. An article based on this research, “ ‘A Country of Hair’: A Global Story of South Korean Wigs, Korean American Entrepreneurs, African American Hairstyles, and Cold War Industrialization,” was published in _Enterprise & Society_.
