Research Topic

My research is centred on modern intellectual history, specifically twentieth-century British political thought. My dissertation explores a group of conservative-associated intellectuals during the Cold War, analysing their historical and political epistemologies as shaped by the concept of tradition. It critically examines their ideological affiliations and the nuances within conservative historiographies. Additionally, I am interested in global intellectual history, particularly Taiwan’s engagement with Anglophone political, historical, and cultural theories. I enjoy music, reading, and table tennis.

My DPhil study is supported by Taiwanese Overseas Pioneers Grants (TOP Grants) starting from 2024.
