Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of Sydney

I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for International Security Studies at the University of Sydney, currently working on the centre's Quantum Meta-Ethics project. My research focuses on geopolitics, imperial history, and the US-China relationship. I also write regularly on international affairs, politics, and cultural issues in Australian and international media. My most recent book is Terminus: Westward Expansion, China, and the End of American Empire. https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/53670/terminus
