(MENAFN- The Conversation) Lecturer in Government and International Relations, University of Essex Profile Articles Activity

My research focuses on the intersection of history and security, with a particular interest in East Asia and Sino-Japanese relations. I have published several articles on this topic, as well as broader discussions on International Relations and International Security Studies.

I was awarded my PhD in Politics by Sheffield Hallam University in 2023. My thesis explored how competing historical narratives of the Second Sino-Japanese War impact the contemporary bilateral relationship between China and Japan, particularly as pertains to their territorial dispute in the East China Sea. Previously, I studied my BA in International Relations and History and an MA in International Security Studies at the University of Leicester.

I currently hold a lectureship at the University of Essex, where I teach British Government, Environmental Politics, International Relations Theory, Advanced Quantitative Methods and Public Policy. Previously, I have held positions at the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University, teaching modules on US politics, International Relations, International Security Studies and Political Violence.
