Teaching and Supervision
I teach Chinese politics (domestic politics & foreign policy) and social science research methods (quantitative & qualitative). I was made a fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2015. I welcome applications from prospective PhD students in the field of Chinese domestic and international politics. I am happy to discuss ideas with prospective PhD students. If you are interested, please email me your CV and research proposal.
