She is completing a monograph entitled Beyond Empire: Southeast Asia and the World During the Great War, which explores the multiple impacts of World War I on this region. This monograph is integrally related to her current research interests in studying imperialism and colonialism as global phenomena. She argues that colonial histories cannot be understood without reference to neighboring colonies, rival metropoles, and even—in this case—extra-colonial locations such as China, the United States, the Ottoman Empire, and Germany.
