I am a historian at the National University of Singapore. I specialize in legal history, histories of Southeast Asia, Islamic law, mobilities, and the Indian Ocean. My book Fluid Jurisdictions: Arab Diaspora under Colonial Rule in Southeast Asia is published by Cornell University Press.
My second book will be on the history of land reclamation in the British Empire.
I can be reached at hisny@nus.edu.sg and I tweet here. Here’s my latest CV.
