Keith Tse
Academic
Given my research interests, my academic affiliations tend to be with Latin/Romance and Chinese linguistics institutions in addition to the main general linguistics ones. I also participated in the student administration of all the universities that I had studied in (Oxford (Balliol), Manchester, York) as well as in the MLA. I have also made contact with leading figures in our field, and I am grateful to all my referees, especially those who have never taught me formally (Ian, Sheng-Li, Stephen, Virginia, Elly, Edith), for consenting to serve as my referees and support my academic career. I shall forever be in your debt. I can only hope to repay my debt by similarly supporting other young people in the future. Indeed, I am an alumnus mentor for all the universities that I have studied/worked in. Recently, I have also joined two American societies (314 Action and March for Science) and have shown solidarity with their quest to protect scientific education and research in North America and beyond, which has to be our top priority as academics since any reduction or curtailment to our scientific traditions would be absolutely catastrophic in our modern digital/technological age.
