She previously held roles as a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford and a Lecturer at the University of Exeter. Her research focuses on great power politics, China’s foreign policy, and the evolving Indo-Pacific order, with a critical lens on global knowledge hierarchies and decolonizing International Relations (IR).
She holds a BA (Hons) from the University of Melbourne, and an MA and PhD from ANU. Her work interrogates the dynamics of hegemonic ordering, Sino-American relations, and the geopolitical implications of China’s rise. She co-edits the Routledge ‘Identity, Worldviews and Ideology in Global Politics’ book series and has been a Visiting Fellow at Nanyang Technological University’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.
Her recent scholarship explores themes such as coalition-building in the Indo-Pacific, decolonizing IR epistemologies, and the political ramifications of China’s pandemic response. Key contributions include analyses of strategic ambiguity in US-China relations and the role of knowledge production in global power structures.
Awarded Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy, her research has been published in top journals like the European Journal of International Relations and China Quarterly. Collaborations span institutions globally, reflecting her interdisciplinary and transnational approach to studying international order and power dynamics.
