Tinakrit Sireerat is a Ph.D. Candidate in the field of Asian Literature, Religion and Culture. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in history from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, he joined the Ph.D. program at Cornell University to pursue his interests in the environmental history of Japan and Thailand during the nineteenth century. His dissertation, tentatively entitled “Looking from the North: A Comparative Enviro-Colonial History of Hokkaido and Lanna,” reexamines the history of livestock farming in Hokkaido and forestry in Lanna to foreground the interconnections between colonial administration and environmental governance, and role of knowledge production in bridging the seemingly separate fields of governance.
