The Listening Post

My interest and work focus on the spaces of community and the conditions under which and through which peoples agree. These phenomena exist as specific “kinds” or “models of consensus”. Empirically, I have studied the international human rights regime and ASEAN regional integration and I am now reflecting and writing on the idea of “a global life”. I work at the intersection of philosophy, international relations, language and political science. My experience in international service spans Southeast Asia, Western Europe and the United Kingdom, including International Alert, the European Commission and the Bologna Process, and I have had formal academic training at the Ateneo de Manila, Universidad de Salamanca, the London School of Economics and the Political Science and the University of Leeds. I was the ASEAN-Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the American University (SIS) in Washington D.C. (2018), and I am presently a Taiwan Fellow of the Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs at National Chung Cheng’s University Institute of Strategic and International Affairs.
