SUNG Hiu Chuk Winnie

I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Nanyang Technological University. I completed my first PhD in Philosophy at University of New South Wales and my second PhD in Philosophy at University College London. My first PhD dissertation was on the concept xin (heart/mind) in the Xunzi. My second PhD dissertation was on belief fixation and self-knowledge.

I am currently working on a project on Xunzi and a project on self-consciousness.
