Biography
PhD Candidate in International Studies, MRes in Political Science, MAs in International Relations and International Communication. Currently Research Associate at the Soft Power Analysis and Resource Centre.
A dedicated follower of international affairs, middle power diplomacy, national image, reputation, and soft power/influence‑related research. My doctoral research inquiry focuses on diasporic diplomacy in the context of world political crises. It addresses value‑based communication and adopts an axiological approach in evaluating affection, utility, aesthetics, and morality‑based attraction and persuasion within the messaging of Australian Public Diplomacy, in the context of rule‑based international order and middle power diplomacy.
Interested in AI technologies that present philosophical, analytical, and practical challenges.
