Current teaching at SOAS
I teach BA and MA courses on Chinese religions and philosophies, especially Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism.
PhD supervision
So far I have supervised PhD projects on Chinese culture, Chinese religions, and Buddhist philosophies. From now I welcome only PhD projects that align with my current research areas.
