Research
In his doctoral dissertation Ghosts and the State: Immaterial Agencies in the Blang Mountains, Daniel investigates how people interact with things they cannot see or touch like ghosts and the state. The project is based on fieldwork with the Blang people, a Theravada Buddhist minority ethnic group living in the Zomian highlands along the China-Myanmar border.
