When the Thai-Cambodian border erupted this July, I hesitated to weigh in due to its sensitivity, but it struck at the core of my dissertation research. My op-ed looks at the logics of asymmetry and hierarchy behind this conflict. Grateful for the opportunity with @eastasiaforum.bsky.social

Grateful to be part of #GRADNAS Seminar Series with @manjeetsp.bsky.social as chair.

I argue that a truly #GlobalIR requires decentring from core-centric worldviews and shifting our gaze to regional peripheries—where order is remade from the margins.
