I am an assistant professor at Faculty of Education, the University of Hong Kong. I have strong interests in Eastern-Western comparison in higher education, especially how universities (including the position of the university in society, functions and outcomes of universities, and ideas about student development and higher education equity) are shaped by social, political, and educational cultures in Eastern and Western contexts. More broadly, my interests include higher education, comparative education, and educational and political philosophy.

 

Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Centre for Global Higher Education, Department of Education, University of Oxford, where I also received my Ph.D. in Education in 2020. My thesis, which will be published as a book, conceptually explores similarities and differences between notions of “public (good)” in Chinese and Anglo-American approaches, and the implications for higher education. It pays particular attention to the ideas of higher education, state, society, and the relationships between them in the two approaches.
