Dissertation:
"A Special Relationship: 10th-13th Century Sino-Vietnamese Tribute Relations and the Traditional Chinese Notion of World Order."
My dissertation involved a study of tribute missions, court ceremonies, and other state rituals associated with the mechanism of Sino-Vietnamese tribute relations. I examined a network of symbols and ritual acts that supported and legitimized the Chinese claim to regional control. Local Vietnamese leaders employed these symbols to perform within the Chinese tribute system in such a way as to establish regional independence while containing Chinese territorial expansion along the frontier.

THE REBEL DEN OF NÙNG TRÍ CAO (University of Washington Press, July 2007, $30 paperback)
The Rebel Den of Nùng Trí Cao examines the rebellion of the eleventh-century Tai chieftain Nung Tri Cao (ca. 1025-1055), whose struggle for independence along Vietnam's mountainous northern frontier was a pivotal event in Sino-Vietnamese relations. Tri Cao's revolt occurred during Vietnam's earliest years of independence from China and would prove to be a vital test of the Vietnamese court's ability to confront local political challenges and maintain harmony with its powerful northern neighbor.
