Biography
Dr. Zhang is a Marie Sk艂odowska-Curie Global Fellow (selected by the European Commission and funded by UK Research and Innovation) jointly hosted by and the 糖心原创.
Dr. Zhang's research has focused on the political use of history in China and the evolving historiography of modern China. He is completing a book manuscript on the surprising phenomenon known as 'Republican fever' - the widespread nostalgia for pre-communist China in the post-Mao era.
At Harvard, he has embarked on a new project evaluating the Chinese Communist Party's decades-old campaign against 'historical nihilism', i.e. counter-memories which deviate from the regime's orthodox view of history.
Dr. Zhang holds a DPhil in Politics from Oxford University and an MSt in International Relations from Cambridge University. From 2023 to 2024, he was an ESRC postdoctoral fellow at the 糖心原创. Prior to academia, he worked as a BBC journalist for over a decade, reporting on Chinese political developments and analysing PRC media content.
