Jean-François' research primarily focuses on the role of party and international politics in the dynamics of cultural recognition. He has published a book, an essay and an edited volume, over a dozen articles in peer-reviewed journals and many chapters in edited books. He has also given multiple conference presentations and talks internationally.
Before arriving at Université TÉLUQ, Jean-François had been a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Taiwan Studies and at the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa, as well as at Academia Sinica’s Institute of Sociology in Taiwan. He has also taught at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU-CPCE) and the University of Hong Kong (HKU SPACE).
Having a particular interest in language issues and in Hong Kong politics, he previously served as secretary and president of the Research Committee on the Politics of Language (RC50) of the International Political Science Association, and now serves as editor of the Routledge Research on Hong Kong Series.
