Welcome!
I am a PhD student in Politics at King’s College London, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). My research explores how collective memory and forgetting shape political behaviour, and how place-based identities and policies are consequential in today’s most advanced democracies. I am also affiliated with the European University Institute on the ERC-funded POSTNORM project.
I have an MA in European Affairs (King’s College London, 2023), an MSc in Political Science (Renmin University of China, 2024), and a BA in History (Renmin University of China, 2021).
