I am an Assistant Professor of Extended Cinema, Film Heritage and Memory at the University of Amsterdam’s Media Studies department and Academic Staff Member at the Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory and Material Culture.
Prior to this I was a Niels Stensen Postdoctoral Fellow in Postcolonial and Memory Studies consecutively affiliated with the University of Oxford hosted by prof. dr. Elleke Boehmer and the University of California, Los Angeles hosted by prof. dr. Michael Rothberg.
I have held visiting appointments at the University of California, Berkeley hosted by dr. Sylvia Tiwon; The University of Melbourne hosted by dr. Edwin Jurriëns; and the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV) hosted by prof. dr. Gert Oostindie.
My doctoral project was funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) with prof. dr. Jeroen de Kloet and dr. Leonie Schmidt as promotores.
I have recently joined the Editorial Board of the journal Popular Culture Review as well as the International Advisory Board of Southeast Asian Media Studies Journal. Since early 2019 I have been an editor of the scholarly journal Indische Letteren.
In the context of a collaborative project on postcolonial memories I am currently hosting dr. Rebekah Vince (Queen Mary University of London) at the Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory and Material Culture.
