Research Interests

My main interests lie at the intersections of law and memory, sociology of law, cultural heritage law and the law of Hong Kong and Macau SARs, although I am also exploring international law and political science in the research. My recently defended thesis focused on a comprehensive examination of the relationship between law and memory.
