His work focuses on the art and curatorial history of Southeast Asia and Philippine colonial and modern art history.

Most recently, he was Visiting Professor at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University.

Patrick, welcome.

So there was a bit of sort of, um, push from, you know, that end.

But I didn't fully dive into it in the sense that I decided to get a master's first, uh, at the Institute of Fine Arts in New York when I was still practicing as a lawyer.

So I didn't sort of jump full in to the full PhD Dr. Bardeen program.

It was, you know, dabbling with the master's to make sure I really wanted to do it.
