Originally from Austria, I have been calling Hong Kong my home for over a decade. After several years as event and arts manager in Beijing, I returned to Hong Kong to pursue my master’s degree and PhD. These years of research also opened up a range of other opportunities and I decided to combine my academic path with practical projects. I currently teach in CUHK, HKBU, EdU, covering media studies, cultural studies, digitalization, sports policy, and sports management. In addition, I founded Baat Man Lau Consulting, a one-stop-shop for companies and NGOs, who look for research and insights into policy, digitalization and media production.
