Price, Rohan A lecturer in the Southern Cross University School of Law and Justice, Dr Rohan Price has established a reputation as a foremost historian of the role of nationalism in the British/Chinese colonial encounter. Rohan was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of New England (Australia) for his thesis on the use of property law to encourage civic loyalty to colonial Hong Kong between the world wars. His books including Reading Colonies: Property and Control of the British Far East and Resistance in Colonial and Communist China (1950-1963) are based on extensive archival and digital repository research. His books have been described in reviews as “passionate”, containing “argumentative strength and forthright originality” and “enormous attention to historic, theoretical and political detail”. Rohan has enjoyed lengthy stints as a visiting profssor in three Chinese universities over the last decade, teaching in fields including common law history, maritime law and the law of trusts. His interest on Chinese food safety issues was prompted by a friend in Hong Kong who, in 2008, casually mentioned he should not to buy the same brand of noodles every time he went to the supermarket.
