I am an Assistant Professor of the Department of Religion and Philosophy of the Hong Kong Baptist University. I am also a Research Fellow of the Centre for Applied Ethics of Hong Kong Baptist University. I worked at the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong before, and was a Junior Research Fellow in the University of Essex. Under the direction of Prof. Chandran Kukathas and Prof. Paul Kelly, I completed my PhD in Government at London School of Economics and Political Science.
My research interests are in the areas of Anglo-American political philosophy (in particular public justification and liberal neutrality) and comparative philosophy (in particular Confucianism). My works appeared (and will appear) in American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Political Theory, Journal of Applied Philosophy, Journal of Social Philosophy, Economics & Philosophy, Journal of Religious Ethics, Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy, Philosophia, Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy, Educational Philosophy and Theory, Social Theory and Practice, and Res Publica. I also organized the Oxford Symposium in Comparative Political Philosophy, and was invited to deliver talks in the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Oxford, the Columbia University, the City University of Hong Kong, the National Taiwan University, and the National Chengchi University. I write essays in non-academic venues occasionally.
I am very happy to supervise MPhil/PhD students. If you are interested in pursuing a postgraduate degree in Philosophy in Hong Kong and working on research topics in political philosophy, Chinese philosophy, normative ethics, or applied ethics, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Feel free to send me a message if you would like more information. For details on the application process for research postgraduate degrees at Hong Kong Baptist University, you can check out the information here and here.
Besides, I enjoy watching football matches, especially from a tactical perspective. I even wrote a book review for The Mixer of Michael Cox, my favorite football tactical analyst. My beloved team is Manchester United, 2006-2009. I am also a big fan of Game of Thrones.
