I’m a Heritage Studies researcher interested in intersections between natural and cultural heritage, as well as the role of Indigenous and human rights within this discourse. I am currently based at the University of Vienna, where I am a University Assistant (Postdoc) for the ERC-funded project – Global Conservation: Histories and Theories (GloCo). I previously worked as an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow with the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the University of Cambridge, where I also hold a PhD in Archaeology (Heritage Studies), MPhil in Archaeological Heritage and Museums, and BA (Hons) in Human, Social and Political Science. My PhD thesis, The Last Elephant Catchers: (In)Visible Indigenous Heritage in Thailand, explores the elephant-related heritage practices of the Kui Ajiang (กูยอาเจียง) in Northeast Thailand, asking what caused the end of elephant catching and what the run-on consequences were on the community, their culture, and identity. This research forms the basis of my first book, Indigenous Heritage and Identity of the Last Elephant Catchers in Northeast Thailand (Amsterdam University Press 2025).
