About me

Bio	My historical research interests are connected to early modern migration towards and within the Indian Ocean, especially surrounding East India Company networks. I am also particularly interested in the theory of colonial anxiety attached to migration, specifically the dichotomy between the concepts of colonial and migrational anxiety.
Keywords	{Early modern history}; {East India Company}; {Colonial anxiety}; {Maritime history}; {Frontier History}; {Colonial Literature}.
