- Education: BA (Political Science, NTU), MA (International Relations, Leiden University/Clingendael), PhD (Konstanz)
Her work analyzes ethnopolitical groups' strategies in Europe, the global activism of the World Uyghur Congress, and the intersection of technology with state sovereignty (e.g., China’s Tianditu mapping service). Recent publications address comparative ethnopolitical activism and the geopolitical implications of cartographic representation.
Dr. Chen’s research also explores the intersection of human rights diplomacy, such as Germany’s debate over Uyghur Guantanamo detainees, and methodological approaches to studying Chinese political texts. She contributes to interdisciplinary discussions on identity, advocacy, and state-minority relations in Asia.
