Episode 133: Rachel Leow, Department of History, University of Cambridge
Episode 11
Wednesday, 3 September, 2025
In this episode of Gatty Rewind, host Francine Barchett and guest co-host Evelyn Fettes (Cornell PhD candidate in Linguistics) join Dr. Rachel Leow, Associate Professor of Modern East Asian History at the University of Cambridge, for a journey through the Southern Seas. Dr. Leow challenges landlocked, nation-bound histories of Southeast Asia by exploring oceanic imaginaries—from Chinese creole dreams to Malay revolutionary visions. What happens when we rethink diaspora, race, and empire not through borders, but through water? Tune in for a lively conversation that dives into the tangled, shimmering histories of migration, language, and ideas across Asia’s maritime world. Lightning round: 3:48 Research and Lecture Summary: 14:30 Advice for researchers and recommendations: 41:06 Dr. Leow’s recommendations: KHÔNG SAO CẢ by 7dnight The music on the podcast is from "14 Strings!", a Filipino-style Rondalla group established at Cornell University.
