What's New?

I want to welcome everyone to my new web-page.  Through my travels and speaking engagements, I’ve often been asked about my web-page only to reply that I did not have one.  Truthfully, I have never really felt the need to have a web-page but with the insistent prodding of many friends, family members, and colleagues I have been thoroughly convinced to join the Internet community.  This website is new not only to you but also to me, as I am also in the process of learning more about this web-page as I go along.  Hopefully in the end I will be able to share with you some 30 years of  research on Southeast Asian history, religion, peoples, and politics, but also a bit about myself.
