Dr. Rami Chan is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Social Science and is concurrently the Director of the Centre for Asian Languages and Cultures (CALC) at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK). Prior to joining the Department in 2013, he pursued his PhD in Political Science at the Lingnan University, Hong Kong.


His research interest is mainly on the politics of crisis management with special focus on the state-society interactions and the crisis-induced policymaking. He also received funding from public and private sectors for projects related to policy capacity, migration politics and urban development such as conducting public policy research on expatiates’ and overseas returnees’ migration plans under the recent social incidents in Hong Kong and historical research on the Tate’s Cairn Tunnel and the Siu Lek Yuen neighborhood.
