I am a passionate believer in research informing teaching. I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching, from the University of Kent (UK) and a Professional Certificate of “Excellence” in Teaching from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (SAR, China).

​

Recently, I was awarded the prestigious CUHK Faculty of Social Sciences Exemplary Teaching Award (2021) and Ranked First in the Faculty of Social Sciences for my outstanding teaching in 2021. I have also been nominated for the CUHK Vice-Chancellor Exemplary Teaching Award (2021).

​

I am currently in negotiation with the publisher SAGE about writing a groundbreaking textbook for Undergraduate students, based on my extensive teaching with the provisional Title: “Understanding Politics” (Tentative Publication Date: 2024).

​

From August 2022 (Autumn Term), I will be teaching the following courses in the School of Arts & Social Sciences at Hong Kong Metropolitan University (HKMU):

​

(1) (POLS A122F) Foundations of Social Sciences: Political Science (UG Level) – Year 1 students
(2) (POLS A331F) Civil Society and Governance (UG Level) – Year 3 & 4 students

​

I draw on a wide range of Applied Flipped classroom teaching methods, such as Simulations (Model EU), Online Lectures & Group Discussions via Live Online Zoom & Panopto Softwares (with the Zoom Break-Out Feature), small scale interactive Tutorial style learning in Cafés alongside Applied Data Lab sessions and Online Group Project Presentations.

​

I have also conducted regular Undergraduate Admissions Talks at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, for the Faculty of Social Sciences. I also previously taught courses in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at The University of Hong Kong.

​

I teach courses (both Undergraduate & Masters Level) primarily in Comparative Politics (European and Asian Politics), Elections and Voting alongside Methodology (Quantitative and Qualitative Methods). I currently supervise undergraduate dissertation projects that relate to comparative politics (Populism in Europe & Asian Politics) alongside Electoral Studies and Party Politics.

​

I have taught on the MSSc Greater China Programme at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I have also been a Guest Lecturer/ Consultant for the Europe Asia Policy Centre for Comparative Research (HKBU) alongside the Master of Science in International & Development Economics (MIDE) at Lingnan University. These topics have related to Brexit, Populism, Developmental Economics and Comparative Asian Politics. Recently, I also contributed as a Guest Speaker for the HKU Online MOOC, “Europe Without Borders”.

​

I recently developed an innovative course in the Department of Government & Public Administration and at Lee Woo Sing College (CUHK) that examines the ‘rise’ of right-wing and left-wing populism in Europe. This is unique as it is the first course of its kind in Hong Kong. I place a strong emphasis on teaching and this is reflected in my excellent teaching evaluation scores in both Hong Kong and in the United Kingdom.

​

I have taught 20+ courses at CUHK from 2017-2022 and I have also supervised 15+ Undergraduate Dissertation Projects at CUHK to completion, in both the Departments of Government & Public Administration alongside Global Studies.

At CUHK, I have taught the following courses:
