Jeffery Chen
Ph.D. Student in History, admitted Autumn 2018
BioI am a Ph.D. candidate in history at Stanford University. I completed my first graduate degree, an MSt. in British and European History, at the University of Oxford. Broadly, my research focusses on cross-cultural encounters between Qing China and eighteenth-century Europe and on the commercial networks linking the two regions.
Outside of academia, I enjoy composing, playing piano and chamber music, and creative writing.
