After completing my DPhil at Wolfson College, Oxford I landed my first job at the University of Southampton in the UK. In 2013 I took up my current position at the University of Sydney. My first book, Frontier Fieldwork. Building a Nation in China's Borderlands examines how a new class of 'frontier workers' emerged in the early 20^th century seeking to build a new relationship with China's frontier in a post-imperial setting. My research has also focused on ethnic minorities in China's borderlands and their appropriation of political discourses in the early 20^th century. I continue working on the impact of World War Two in China and its global ramifications through the study of intellectual and material networks.
