Biography
Ting joined Queen’s Law School as a lecturer in December 2012. Before joining Queen’s, she had been a research fellow at the London School of Economics, working on an interdisciplinary and collaborative European Research Council funded project. She was also a postdoctoral research fellow at the Asia Research Centre, London School of Economics. Her main research interests are in the fields of law, governance and development, property law, socio-legal studies, Chinese law, comparative law, and global economic history. Her work has an interdisciplinary flavour. She is also a research affiliate of Queen’s University Centre for Economic History http://www.quceh.org.uk/research-affiliates.html.
Ting has been recently awarded a British Academy Conference Grant (with Professor Patrick O’Brien, approximately £20,000) for organising an international conference on knowledge formation and the history of books. She also organised a workshop (with Dr Carol Tan) on “Law, Governance and Development: The Transformation of Property Rights and Property Law in China” at the Centre of East Asian Law, SOAS, University of London with a grant of £1500.
