Yang (韩阳) is a job market candidate who recently completed her DPhil in International Relations. She studied as a Swire Scholar at St Antony’s College. Yang’s research interests include hierarchies in international relations, critical security studies, and critical IR theory building through the case of China’s international relations. Her doctoral monograph, which she is currently working to turn into a book, 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.
