Research Interests
My DPhil thesis is an intellectual history of five left-wing Protestant thinkers in Republican China. These Chinese thinkers, I suggest, derived their left-wing Christian political thought from both intellectual exposures and personal travels to the West. As such, they were not just receptive members of a global intellectual community, but active and conscientious contributors to its progress. More broadly, I am interested in theology and political thought in twentieth-century China, the transmission of ideas between East and West, and theory and methods of intellectual history.
I am co-convenor of the Oxford China Reading Group (OxCRG), funded by the TORCH Critical Thinking Communities Fund and the John Fell Fund. I am also a graduate representative of the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, a standing committee member of the Oxford China Studies Society (OCSS), and an associate of the China Centre and the Centre for Intellectual History. My research is funded by the Rhodes Scholarship.
