"Charnel Knowledge and Imperial Power: Medico-Legal Science in Siam, c. 1855-1900" (title of my one and only invited academic "book talks"--a play on Ann Stoler's work on gender and sexuality in the Dutch East Indies)

"The World in a Pustule" (lecture on the global history of Smallpox Vaccination for my lecture course "Globalization II: Commodities, Creeds, and Conjurors")

"The World in a Pipe: Opium & The Canton Trade" (thematic complement to the above, focused on mid-19th century imperialism in South and East Asia) 

"The World of 1893: Up for Grabs & On Display" (the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 serves as a "global moment" for assessing imperialist agendas in this lecture from my course Globalization II)

"Colonial Cultures of (Re)Production" (another lecture from Globalization II on the intermingling of sex and commerce and sex as commerce in modern European empires)

"Crystal Palaces & Glass Houses" (Or perhaps even better: "Empire on Display and Empire in Disarray"--a lecture on the 1851 Great Exhibition in London and the Indian/Sepoy Rebellion of 1857)

"W(h)ither Globalization? Paradigms and Prospects" (concluding lecture for Globalization II on the current and future challenges and prospects for global cooperation/integration)

"A ‘Cultivation Complex’?: Plantations in the Atlantic World" (introduces the historical institution of the sugar-slave plantation complex and ponders the place of these institutions within the history of modern capitalism)

"The Birds & The Bees (Oh, and VDs): Sex & Disease in the Colonial World" (Pretty self-explanatory: this lecture was part of a course on the global history of Medicine & Imperialism)

"A Womb with a View: The Introduction of Western Obstetrics in Early Nineteenth Century Siam" (Originally presented at the Council on Thai Studies in 2012, I later published a substantially revised version in Bulletin of the History of Medicine)
