Current Research Interests

In the Thai-Burma-Laos border

Middle class and elite violence in the Philippines
Mapping of armed zones in the southern Philippines
Epidemics as a non-traditional security issue in Southeast and East Asia

I continue my research on middle class and elite violence in the Philippines even as I start research in two new areas: mapping the armed zones in the southern Philippines using advances in GIS technology combined with traditional maps; and epidemics, especially those caused by rodents, as a non-traditional security issue in Southeast and East Asia. The first of these will hopefully provide scholars, policy analysts, and peace groups a sense of what is in store for communities in these areas when peace is signed between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the Philippine government. The second will apply existing medical, ecological, and agricultural approaches to studying rodents with public health and politics.
