I am a (first-gen) PhD candidate in Political Theory with an interdisciplinary background.
Before coming to CEU, I completed my undergraduate degree in International Relations at the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam and a Master of Science in Politics, Economics, and Philosophy at Hamburg University, Germany.
My primary research interests are in the area of democratic theory, especially John Rawls's political theory, and its implications for non-liberal contexts.
My dissertation project seeks to construct a participatory theory of global governance with (i) the Rawlsian ideal of Global Public Reason as the normative framework and (ii) the global deliberative innovations as the practical framework. The image that I have in mind, which is the primary motivation of my research, is to bring individual citizens from authoritarian and liberal countries to sit in the same room and deliberate with each other about the global problems that directly and profoundly affect their well-beings.
