Anna Kallen is currently working on a research project about the Swedish archaeologist Olov R.T. Janse, and is Research Officer for a Faculty Research School for Studies in Cultural History at Stockholm University. She is author of And Through Flows the River: Archaeology and the Pasts of Lao Pako and Lao Pako: A Late Prehistoric Site on the Nam Ngum River in Laos. Trained in archaeology, Kallen s research extends to heritage studies, anthropology, and history of ideas. Her long-term research has been in mainland Southeast Asia (Laos in particular) and in postcolonial theory.
