I am an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California-Davis where I am affiliated with the East Asian Studies program. For the academic year 2021-2022, I am also a Non-Residential Fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington DC. I hold a PhD in Political Science and a Master of Research from the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, an MPhil in International Relations from Queens’ College, University of Cambridge, and BA in Modern History from Trinity College, Oxford.

When not at work, I am a keen soccer player and average golfer. The above is probably me after an errant tee shot on the par 4 fifth.
