    LU Profile Area: Human rights

I am a researcher at the Centre since July 2024 working on academic freedom in Thailand. I am part of the EU in the Volatile Indopacific Region (EUVIP), a project funded under the Horizon Programme, Twinning call.

I hold a Ph.D. degree in Human Rights Studies from Lund University since September 2020. I have taught several courses in human rights, at Lund University and at Mahidol University, Thailand.

I am the PI of a research project on the colonial encounters between Scandinavian capitalist entrepreneurs, engineers, researchers and the Siamese royal elite. Link to the project.

The source materials and methods that I work with are often visual and archival. In addition to human rights history and discourse my interests are in historiographic photography, visual practices of social movements, counter-archives, the performative aspects of nationalism and citizenship, political violence, exile, academic freedom, and the political history of Thailand.
