Alice Trinkle is a Research and Teaching Fellow at the chair of Prof. Sarah Eaton and a Doctoral Researcher in the Junior Research Group 'Peripheral Liberalism' at the Research Cluster 'Contestations of the Liberal Script' at Free University Berlin. She is affiliated with the Institute for Asian and African Studies at Humboldt University of Berlin, where she teaches courses on China's Economic Reforms in Global Context, The People's Republic of China & (Central-)Eastern Europe, China & Europe through Historical Primary Sources, and Global History Research in China Studies.
Alice studied History, Chinese Studies, German Language and Literature, and Educational Science at SOAS University of London, UIBE Beijing, and Potsdam University. She earned her MA from SOAS and is an alumna of the Oxford Europeaum Scholars Programme, a leadership training program for policy advice.
Her research focuses on global history with special emphasis on China and Hungary. Her PhD project examines transnational exchanges on marketization within socialist contexts (1970s-1990s), analyzing a global network of reform thinkers and practitioners in socialist China and Eastern Europe and their impact on China's 'Reform and Opening' policies. Her broader research interests encompass the global and economic history of China and Central Eastern Europe, (post)socialist economies and societies, and Chinese activities in Eastern Europe.
Her publications reveal a consistent focus on the intersections of economic reform, political systems, and transnational networks. She has contributed to understanding how socialist countries engaged with market mechanisms while maintaining political control, with particular attention to China's interactions with Eastern European reform thinkers. Her work bridges historical analysis with contemporary political economy, examining topics like EU-China relations, socialist economic thought, and the global dimensions of liberal and socialist political scripts.
Alice has presented her research at numerous international conferences including events at Harvard University, Central European University, University of Cambridge, and Free University Berlin. Her presentations often focus on Chinese-Hungarian exchanges on economic reform, banking systems, and the global network of socialist reformers.
As a Research and Teaching Fellow, she contributes to academic discourse through publications, conference presentations, and teaching. Her work demonstrates how historical perspectives on socialist economic reform can inform contemporary understanding of China's political economy and its global relationships.
