CURRICULUM VITAE
Rohan Price
BA, LLB, LLM, PhD
I am a biographer, historian and comparativist of the British Far Eastern colonies (1900-1960). My signature idea in Reading Colonies and Violence and Emancipation is that the British often took policy positions on public housing, war time loss and damage compensation, and rent control from Leftist nationalist manifestos in order to manage the pace and rationale of their Eastern decolonisations.
Education
In 2013 I was a awarded a PhD in Legal Philosophy by the University of New England (NSW) for my thesis on the influence of Chinese nationalism on British land policy in Hong Kong and British Malaya.
