Introduction
Prof. Sharon Wong studied Southeast Asian archaeology and cultures and received her PhD in Southeast Asian Studies from the National University of Singapore. Her PhD research focused on China and Khmer ceramics industries from the ninth to fourteenth centuries AD, examining the cultural interaction between China and Southeast Asia in the pre-modern period. Dr. Wong became deeply interested in Southeast Asian cultures, and since 2005 her academic journey has followed this path. She lived in Singapore and Cambodia while undertaking her extensive fieldwork. She was originally trained in archaeology and awarded her M.A. from the School of Archaeology and Museology in Peking University, China, and her first fieldwork on ancient craft production was in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian. She has also conducted comparative research on museum exhibition displays and catalogues in material culture when she was a research fellow at National Library of Singapore. She is currently working on Khmer-Chinese ceramics research project in Angkor, Cambodia, ethnoarchaeological research project on storage jars found in South China and Southeast Asia in early modern period, and an intangible cultural heritage project on Hong Kong traditional ceramic crafts. Dr. Wong teaches courses on archaeology, museology, cultural heritage studies and Southeast Asian cultures.
