Two Junior Scholars to Join the Society of Fellows
26 August 2024
Bill Kelson (PhD, Univ. of Georgia) is a historian with research interests in Chinese history and the history of global capitalism. At HKU, he will be revising his PhD dissertation, a history of the late-Qing financial crisis of the early 1880s, into a book manuscript, then beginning research on a second book project.
Maurice Windleburn holds a PhD in Musicology from the University of Melbourne. His current research project examines the sonic ontologies theorised by philosophers, occultists, scientists and critics in modernist France (1880-1940), and the effects they had on the arts in this period.
