Biography

After graduating from the London School of Economics, I completed degrees in the history of political thought at Queen Mary and in the history of migration at Leiden. I then worked as an editor and writer in Shanghai. I am the co-convener of the DAAD-Cambridge Hub research seminars on the global legacies of Reinhart Koselleck. I have been a fellow at the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid and at the Huntington Library in Pasadena.
