Since 2009, I have conducted field work in both China and Laos, primarily focused on the regions demonstrated below as well as in Vientiane and Beijing capital cities. My recent work brings me increasingly into contact with actors in Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as into the agricultural sector in Canada (with case studies in British Columbia).
