Research Interests

As a legal theorist of culture, 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.
