Biography

Tamara Loos is Professor of Southeast Asian history at Cornell University and has served as Chair of the History Department and Director of the Southeast Asia Program.[3] Her first book, Subject Siam: Family, Law, and Colonial Modernity in Thailand[4], explores the implications of Siam's position as both a colonized and colonizing power in Southeast Asia. It is the first study that integrates the Malay Muslim south and the gendered core of law into Thai history. Her most recent book, Bones Around My Neck[5] offers a critical history of Siam during the era of high colonialism through the dramatic and tragic life of a pariah prince, Prisdang Chumsai [6]. Her teaching and articles focus on an array of topics including sex and politics, subversion and foreign policy, sexology, transnational sexualities, comparative law, sodomy, and gender in Asia. She has been interviewed by the BBC[7], The New York Times[8], The Washington Post[9], The Financial Times[10], and other global media outlets about political protests in Thailand[11].
