Education

[edit]

He obtained a doctoral degree from the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford in 2006.

Academic career

[edit]

Shen joined Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2003 and became research assistant professor in the Hong Kong Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies of the same university. In 2009, he was invited by Anthony Cheung, then President of Hong Kong Institute of Education (now Education University of Hong Kong) to its Faculty of Arts and Sciences. He returned to CUHK in 2012.

He held visiting positions in Brookings Institution, University of Warwick and National University of Singapore.

In 2016, he left his hometown.[1] Within three years, he returned to Hong Kong but has since then left again in exile in the wake of the implementation of the national security law in 2020.
