Studying for a PhD with the Hong Kong History Project at the University of Bristol was one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. With the guidance of my supervisors, and through time spent with my peers at Bristol, I challenged myself to think about Hong Kong – and British – history beyond the confines of official records and narratives.

Being part of the HKHP has enhanced my professional life as a researcher and analyst, and the friends I made there have given me a life-long network of world-class historians.
