At Cambridge, I hope to study the problems and possibilities for human rights in a globalizing world. I plan to explore the tension between economic globalization (which has brought benefits for some) and upholding some standard of human rights, as well as the relationship between the ideal of universal human rights and the need to respect cultural differences. I hope to put this research to practical use at the international level in the future.
