Yang (韩阳) is a job market DPhil candidate in International Relations and Swire Scholar at St Antony’s College. Her doctoral research explores China's understanding of international hierarchy through its discourses on Africa and China-Africa relations.

I am a DPhil student in International Relations, with interests in international organisations, international law, international criminal justice, transitional justice, and international order.

I completed my MPhil in International Relations in 2020; my MPhil thesis examined the processes of judicial and organisational innovation at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). My DPhil project builds on this research.
