Research Interests

In general, I am interested in political thought, institutional history, political culture, and international relations theory. My Ph.D. research will concentrate on the middle and late Tang Dynasty (8th-9th centuries). Using a wide range of sources, such as private communications, letters, poems, and epitaphs, I will explore literati’s networks of political and cultural negotiation and their function in a political body which was threatened by disintegration. This research project is part of the small research group “Empire on the Brink,” which again is part of SFB 923 “Threatened Order – Societies under Stress.”
