May Chu studied government and public administration at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). She moved to the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) to obtain her master’s degrees and Ph.D. in political science. Prior to joining CUHK as an assistant professor, she worked as a senior researcher at the Central Policy Unit of the Hong Kong SAR government.

 

May Chu’s main research interests centre on public governance and risk regulation. Her current research focuses on the politics of regulation, the regulation of food and the environment, regulatory regimes, and the globalisation of regulation, especially in the contexts of less developed countries and the East Asia and Pacific region. Her research outputs are published in top-tier venues, including Regulation & Governance, Policy & Politics, and Food Control.
