My research focuses on the intersections of urbanization and democratic change in East/Southeast Asia, especially with respect to electoral politics. I am interested in identifying historical, sociological, and political factors that shape urbanization in East/Southeast Asia and connecting them to recent political phenomena such as populist politics.
