Hi, I'm Angel, a first-year Philosophy, Politics and Economics student at UCL. My current Laidlaw research project explores the use of fire in modern Chinese history with a particular focus on the burning of the old Summer Palace and the military use of fire during the 1911 Revolution. This project brings together my passion for Chinese history and literature with an analytical approach to understanding how these events have been interpreted by later generations and in secondary scholarship.
Outside of research, I’m a rock music enthusiast and electric guitarist — and I’m always on the hunt for great restaurants. Feel free to reach out at angelchanln@hotmail.com. I always enjoy a good conversation!
Hi! I'm terrible at writing bios so if you have any suggestions or are interested in discussing your own research, I'd be delighted to chat.
