Biography

Dr. Chiu's academic trajectory, spanning The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) and the University of Warwick, investigates the structural nexus of sport, health, and society. While his MA explored social class and cultural capital, his PhD (2022) offered a critical analysis of sporting naturalization in Hong Kong, examining its role in shaping national and ethnic identities.
