I am a Ph.D. candidate from the Division of Social Science, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), where I hold the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship.
A 2013 graduate (匯社) in economics from Lingnan University, Hong Kong, I worked as a research assistant at the Department of Education Studies, Hong Kong Baptist University from 2013 to 2014; received a MA in History from the Division of Humanities and joined the School of Humanities and Social Science as Instructional Facilitator for MOOC at HKUST in 2015. I received my M.phil. in 2018 with thesis titled Chinese Female Tertiary and Post-Tertiary Education and Women's Entry in the Workplace, 1905-1952. My previous research focuses on the history of higher education in modern China using a data analytical approach, informed by the sociology of education and comparative education. The main research projects include Social and Geographical Origins of Chinese University Students and Overseas Chinese Students, with special focus on Republican China (1912-1949), described in Lee-Campbell Research Group China University Student Dataset (CUSD) Project page. My dissertation research examines professional education and employment in Republican China with a focus on certified public accountants, engineers and medical doctors. I investigate education background, overseas experience, social and geographical origins, and employment history with China Professional Occupation Datasets (CPOD) that I have been leading to compile and construct since 2016. |
