I was trained as a philosopher, and did my Ph.D. in law. Currently I am teaching at the University of Hong Kong .

After completing my PhD, I spent three years teaching ethics and political theory at Groningen University. I left Groningen to take up a post-doc in Singapore. In the first half of 2010, I worked on a research project with the Center of Excellence in Philosophical Psychology, Morality and Politics of the Universtity of Helsinki.

My main project is to complete a book on human rights and cultural differences. The aim of this book is to describe human rights theories as an aspect of the culture in which they were developed.
