Pheeeraphong Jampee

Phee (Pheeraphong) Jampee is a PhD candidate specializing in Colonial and Post-Colonial Southeast Asian history, with a particular focus on ethnohistory, Indochinese refugees, women, and Thai nationalism during the post-WWII period (1945–1975). As a native speaker of Thai and its minority dialects, Phee brings a deeply personal connection to the study of mainland Southeast Asian history, especially the formation of Thai identity and nationalism in the aftermath of the Second World War.

Phee chose to pursue graduate studies at North Dakota State University to delve deeper into Southeast Asian history and to share his knowledge with students and fellow scholars. The field of Southeast Asian history offers boundless opportunities to explore topics such as nationalism, ethnicity, gender, and the experiences of refugees in the twentieth century—subjects that inspire Phee’s passion for research. He is particularly motivated by the untapped potential of archival sources scattered across the globe, which hold rich, unexplored insights into this dynamic region's history.
