— ABOUT ME
I am Associate Professor in the Strategic & Defence Studies Centre at The Australian National University’s Coral Bell School of Asia-Pacific Affairs, with expertise in:
-
I study how relations between China and Japan have evolved since World War II, and how memories of war and colonialism shape contemporary China-Japan relations.
-
My research explores China’s role in shaping the post-World War II international economic order, and the contemporary legacy of China’s postwar economic ideas.
-
Eschewing standard International Relations approaches, my research examines how states – including China, Japan, the United States and Australia – differently conceptualise the nexus between economics and security.
-
I take an ideational approach to all of my work, studying how policymakers perceive the world, define their interests, wrestle with complex policy problems, and communicate with different audiences.

In my writing, research, and teaching I am interested in how China and Japan have historically understood their place in the world, and their role in shaping a changing international order.
