Employment: China & The World

During Trimester 2, 2018, I am assisting Professor Baogang He, Chair of International Relations at Deakin University, to deliver the unit China & The World (Unit code: AIR701). My teaching assistant role encompasses fielding student inquiries regarding the unit content and assessments, facilitating and moderating online discussions in Deakin’s cloud environment, and marking all student assessments for the unit.

Unit Description:

China plays an increasingly important role in global politics and is Australia’s biggest trading partner. Its international relations generally and foreign policy in particular have attracted growing interest from scholars and students alike. Specifically, this unit examines the sources and nature of Chinese power, Chinese views of its national identity, global role and responsibility, Chinese nationalism and strategic culture, China’s major foreign relationships and regional responses to China’s rise, as well as the impact of these interactions on the U.S., regional balance of power, global political, economic and normative order, energy and resources, environment, and Chinese domestic political economy.
