SUPERVISION

I am interested in supervising talented and devoted students with research interests that fall into the fields of public health ethics, comparative health and broader welfare systems, political violence prevention, and health politics.

621 Ethics & Politics Lab

If you are interested in joining Lab 621 and prepared to probe into the nexus between health policy, ethics and politics, you are very welcomed to contact me, through email or physical presence at the 6 Floor of the College of Public Health Building (even if I cannot meet with you at once, I could make an appointment with you). Our regular meetings are set on each Tuesday 16:30-18:00 during Spring 2025. You are welcomed to sit in.

If you were interested in working on your thesis under my supervision, please be sure to preserve enough time and talk to me as early as you could, or preferably take one of the courses I provide in the College. I would expect you to prepare a preliminary draft for your research topic with a focus on the justification of the academic/policy significance of the topic and the feasibility.

When you come and talk to me for the first time, I may incidentally ask about what your favorite book is. If you then tell me the answer is Making Democracy Work, I would be impressed.
