My research at present focusses on state rhetoric at international institutions: in particular, the puzzling phenomenon of undiplomatic language. I am currently completing a doctoral project based on my previous master’s project, which is available here.

I have acted as a research assistant for the EU-funded SCHOOLPOL project, a colossal project that sought to examine the role of various facets of education policy in educational outcomes in the post-war development of 22 different countries. My role involved reading and coding primary sources in different European languages to eventually generate reports on changes in education policy over the period under review.

I have also undertaken archival work on the history of education policy in colonial Hong Kong for an undergraduate thesis, where I examined the role of identity-forming politics in the formulation of education policy. It is available here.

My other research interests include history, where I am a plausible historian of early modern Britain (the Tudors, the Stuarts to the Glorious Revolution) and the 20th century world, with a focus the Cold War and on China and Hong Kong.
