We're extremely pleased to introduce you to the latest addition to the team of RoH Malaysia! As usual, we have always been on a lookout for intellectual talents in our nation who can help us to deepen our understanding of what it means to think and feel with the Church by also beating with the pulse of our nation.

And so, ladies and gentlemen, we would like you to meet Dr Helen Ting:

Dr Helen Ting
BSc with Education (University of Malaya, Malaysia);
DES Development (UCL, Belgium);
DEA Development (UCL, Belgium);
PhD Political Science (Sciences Po, France).

Helen is currently working as a research fellow at the Institute of Malaysian and International Studies, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Her research interests include issues in the fields of national identity, national integration, inter-ethnic and inter-religious relations, gender relations and social history. Previously, she worked as part of the Asian and then International Teams of the International Movement of Catholic Students for six years. She sees RoH Malaysia as a space for creative synergy between the faith and social analytical dimensions.

In days and weeks to come, we will be posting up articles that Helen has written for various publication purposes. We hope you will benefit from her perceptive analyses of our nation's political landscape, and grasp a better understanding of what it means to be Malaysian and to be Christian.

Welcome, Helen.
