Thank you for taking an interest in my research.

I have at least three projects that I have initiated but have not followed up on, namely:

1. A group project on the writings mostly in periodicals by Peranakan Chinese publishers in the early twentieth century (1910-1940) focusing on how each piece represents or addresses the issues of women's role in society and the socio-political place of Peranakan Chinese in the Dutch Indies. 
2. Issues raised in my dissertation on the Sherlock Holmes canon, which may become two or three separate studies, including a study on how particular stories are adapted by Peranakan Chinese in early twentieth-century Dutch Indies and on spatio-temporal distancing in the narrative structure of particular stories which represent the segregative imaginary mapping of the colonial global world.
3. A study of the "Aeolus" chapter in James Joyce's Ulysses.
4. All three projects deal with texts, mostly narratives, produced at the turn of the century, to see how the global inter- and trans-cultural discourses are formed. The objective of these studies is the submission of articles based on these studies in Scopus-indexed journals.

Your role as research assistants is to help me do the groundwork, preparing scattered primary materials and collect relevant studies.
