北外—基尔外交学中外合作办学项目外籍教师早川·奥利弗

奥利弗博士的研究主要聚焦中国与中东关系，尤其关注以色列-巴勒斯坦冲突背景下的中巴贸易关系。奥利弗博士对民族志研究及其在全球化贸易研究中的应用抱有浓厚兴趣，包括对中国及中东地区的商人群体、集镇和贸易路线的研究。

奥利弗博士在诺丁汉大学获得地理与中国研究学士学位，在伦敦大学亚非学院（SOAS）获得近东与中东研究硕士学位，并在埃克塞特大学分别获得中东研究硕士（研究型）和中东政治博士学位。

在攻读博士研究生之前，他在中国生活近十年，曾在公共和私营部门担任多个职务，推动中英双边关系的发展。奥利弗博士曾担任利物浦-上海伙伴关系（LSP）的首任首席代表，负责促进利物浦与上海在政治、商业、教育、文化和体育等领域的交流合作。该角色最终促成我被任命为2010年上海世博会利物浦馆馆长。之后，他在英国驻上海总领事馆担任英国贸易投资总署（UKTI）的贸易与投资经理，负责信息通信技术、医疗健康与生命科学、教育等领域的战略合作伙伴关系和重要合作项目。

Oliver Hayakawa

I am a Lecturer in International Relations on the joint degree programme 'International Governance and Public Policy' delivered in partnership between the University of Keele, UK, and Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), China.

My research focuses on China-Middle East relations, specifically China-Palestine trade ties within the broader context of the Israel-Palestine conflict. I have a particular passion for ethnography and its application to the study of globalised trade; this includes research on trader communities, market towns, and trade routes in China and across the Middle East. This is largely informed by my experience of conducting research while travelling the Silk Road in 2015 to gain a first-hand understanding of the implications of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

I received my BA in Geography and Chinese Studies from the University of Nottingham, an MA in Near and Middle Eastern Studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), and an MRes in Middle East Studies and a PhD in Middle East Politics from the University of Exeter.

Prior to pursuing postgraduate studies, I spent almost ten years in China working in various public and private sector roles promoting bilateral relations between the UK and China. I was the first Chief Representative for the Liverpool-Shanghai Partnership (LSP) responsible for facilitating Liverpool-Shanghai relations in the fields of politics, business, education, culture, and sports. This role culminated in my appointment as the Pavilion Director of the Liverpool Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. I went on to become a Trade and Investment Manager for United Kingdom Trade and Investment (UKTI) at the British Consulate in Shanghai, overseeing a range of strategic partnerships and high-profile collaborative projects in the ICT, healthcare and life sciences, and education sectors.

I am also an International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited coach with expertise across a range of modalities of coaching. I run programmes to promote coaching as a tool to enhance independent and critical thinking as well as conduct workshops and seminar series to cultivate leadership skills and collaborative teams. I specialise in organisational training and facilitation in the higher education sector in my role as Head of Coaching Skills across a network of Sino-British joint degree programmes.

In a voluntary capacity, I am Trustee for the Brighton centre of the multi-award winning Spear Programme, a charity that uses coaching to support disadvantaged young adults to find employment or return to education. Whenever possible, as a black belt in my long-time passion of Brazilian Jiujitsu, I can also be found coaching at my local gym in my hometown of Brighton, UK.
