Ling Ma (He/him)

I am a PhD candidate in Drama at the University of Exeter, specializing in drama-based pedagogy in early childhood education in China. With a strong international academic background, I have studied and worked in the UK, Ireland, and China, engaging in cross-cultural teaching, interdisciplinary research, and international academic collaborations.

I have been awarded several prestigious research scholarships, including the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC), and Limetree Capital Doctoral Scholarship, which have supported my research in drama education and pedagogy.

With a passion for innovative pedagogy, drama education, and teacher training, I am committed to exploring how drama-based learning can transform educational practices. I actively seek academic collaborations and research opportunities to further investigate the impact of drama pedagogy in diverse educational contexts.
