Ansheng is an international relations student at ANU and I joined ANUCES as an ANIP Intern in 2023 with interests in comparative studies. Her research is about different perspectives on European populism and how varied interpretations may affect policy-making decisions. This journey at ANUCES provides her with invaluable international perspectives and motivates her to explore further possibilities in European studies. Later in 2023, she conducted an exchange at Rochester University and worked as a research assistant in the Department of Political Science.
