Om mig

Tomas Cole is a Postdoctoral Fellow. His research ethnographically examines the intersection between environments, politics, and cosmologies, and has conducted extensive fieldwork in the Myanmar-Thai borderlands and, more recently, Singapore. He completed his PhD in Social Anthropology at Stockholm University in December 2020 with a focus on indigenous conservation and environmental peacebuilding in Southeast Myanmar.  From 2023 Tomas began working on a postdoctoral project with Stockholm university and the Rachel Carson Centre comparatively exploring the differing ways in which humans are learning to negotiate with, make room for, and indeed to make peace with mosquitos across Southeast Asia – from the war-torn highlands of Myanmar to hyper-modern Singapore (funded by the Swedish Research Council).

In his current research, Tomas is working to turn his doctoral research into a series of articles and a monograph, as well as embarking on a new international postdoc project, funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR). This new project, 'Making Peace with Pests: From Conflict to Conviviality with Mosquitos Across Southeast Asia', comparatively explores the differing ways in which humans are learning to negotiate with, make room for, and indeed to make peace with mosquitos across Southeast Asia – from the war-torn highlands of Myanmar to hyper-modern Singapore.
