Diasporic Homecomings: Ethnic Return Migrants in Comparative Perspective
This project will examine various groups of ethnic return migrants-diasporic peoples who return to their ancestral homelands after living outside their countries of ethnic origin for generations. Project participants will compare the ethnopolitical reception and experiences of ethnic return migrants in different European and East Asian countries. Diasporic return migration has often been enabled by extraterritorial citizenship and immigration policies of homeland governments based on imaginings of a broader ethnic nation beyond state borders that encompasses diasporic descendants abroad.

Integrated Analysis of Robustness in Dynamic Social Ecological Systems
There are many examples of societies which have endured for long periods, successfully coping with uncertainty, disturbance, and change in the environment. There are also many examples of societies that have failed in this regard.

Documentation and Archival Digitization of Tai Linguistic Data
All languages embody unique linguistic and cultural knowledge, much of which remains to be explored and documented. Regrettably, thousands of indigenous languages are at risk of disappearing before scholars will be able to capture and preserve them for future generations. Southeast Asia, in particular, is experiencing rapid loss of languages, notably in the Tai language family.
