Research Interests
I study the British Empire in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. I am particularly interested in Britain’s early relations with Qing China, how the two empires’ initial encounters influenced Britain’s “official” and “unofficial” stances toward China, and how British “China experts” reconciled spreading Christianity and opium in China.
