Academic Biography
My research examines the way in which societies and individuals understand, process, interpret and/or narrate their pasts; I have conducted research on the history of ideas, historical imaginaries, collective memory, national myths and narratives, nostalgia, the politics of history and the uses and abuses of history and/or the past more broadly. In my career, I have often examined these themes in relation to architecture, townscapes, urban conservation, built heritage, intangible heritage and urban place branding. While my early research explored British/English cases, since 2010 I have investigated Chinese case studies. In this respect, I have become an enthusiastic student of Chinese studies (Sinology).
Broadly speaking my research interests relate to:
Social theory
Sociological theory
the history of ideas
historical imaginaries
Collective memory
nostalgia
the politics of history
the politics of the past
the uses of the past
the use and abuse of history/the past
heritage
Historical place branding
Nostalgic place branding
Faux history
Historical simulacra
nationalism
national myths
national narratives
race and ethnicity
Chinese studies
Subject areas
Very specifically, my work might be placed within the following subject areas: the sociology or anthropology of the past; the politics of the past; public history and/or heritage studies. But beyond these specific areas, hopefully my research speaks to the disciplines of sociology, history, human geography, architecture, planning and Chinese studies more broadly.
Visiting academic positions
I have been a visiting scholar, visiting researcher and/or a visiting lecturer at the following institutions:
Xi'an Jiaotong University (March-April, 2019); Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (July, 2017); Xiamen University (July, 2017); Xi'an University of Architectural Technology (May-July, 2013); Wuhan University (March-May, 2013); Peking University (February, 2013; August, 2013).
Recent Work: Chinese cultural history and urban studies
In recent years, I have become a very enthusiastic student of Chinese studies (Sinology). I say student because my Mandarin needs to improve and because I am still finding my feet, I often work in teams with other Chinese researchers. Specifically, my research has mainly been concerned with Chinese culture, nostalgia, politics, heritage and urban development.
On my travels to China I have visited the following very interesting places: Beijing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Jining, Macau, Qingdao, Qufu, Shanghai, Suzhou, Tai'an, Wuhan, Xiamen and Xi'an. In the near future, I hope to visit more places in the PRC.
Applications for Doctoral Work
I welcome applications for doctoral study; I welcome students, who want to develop projects on urban development, time, memory, nostalgia, identity and heritage; And of course, reflecting my recent work, I am very interested in project students that are keen to study issues in and around Chinese culture, nostalgia, politics, heritage and urban development.
Languages: Mandarin
Above tourist level Mandarin (but a long way to go yet): On the 6th of January, 2016 I learnt that I passed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) level 2 Mandarin Chinese Proficiency test. In the future I shall study for the HSK Level 3 Mandarin Chinese Proficiency test.
Outside of Work
Outside of work I am a keen walker and Chess player. I also spend my time reading and sometimes trying to write fiction. I love listening to music, reading novels and watching movies. When I was younger I enjoyed Skateboarding. Whilst I have retired this hobby, I still take an interest in Skateboarding culture broadly.

Specific research areas:
In recent years, I have become a student of Chinese studies (Sinology); at present I am exploring 5 specific lines of research in China; these investigations include:
1) the history of ideas in China especially traditional ideas and the role of these concepts in the present.
2) research into the role of humiliation and rejuvenation discourses
3) research into historic place-branding and the use of historical themes and imaginaries in the marketing of Chinese cities such as Shanghai, Wuhan and Xi'an; Recently, I made a 3-minute video outlining this research for Newcastle University’s Cities NUCORE: https://flipgrid.com/6ac60c6d
4) research into nostalgic consumerism (particularly colonial consumerism);
5) research into a nostalgic social movement in China known as the Hanfu movement (a movement of young people who wear pre-Qing Dynasty clothing) (with Qianqian Qin). Specifically, on this topic, recently, we have been involved with a project regarding infrastructures of memory. https://www.cassis.uni-bonn.de/en/ueber-cassis/prof.-maximilian-mayer-en/infrastructures/infrastructures-of-memory
Funded Research projects:
In 2014, I was awarded a Sino-British Fellowship Trust and British Academy Award - (BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grants SRG 2014 Round) £9,863.75. https://www.ncl.ac.uk/heritage/research/reconstructing-han-identities/
In 2012 I was an active participant in a very large EU F7 grant known as PUMAH - Planning, urban management and heritage; this grant saw staff exchanges between European and Chinese institutions. Overall the project was a complete success and these exchanges have now served as key spaces in the formation of new joint research projects and teaching opportunities.

Research led teaching
Stage 3: Chinese Cultural history and urban development: With Ms Qianqian Qin and Prof Rose Gilroy, I now run a stage 3 AUP course which explores the cultural history of Chinese city making and planning. As well as examining ancient city planning, we also investigate in detail the contemporary status of the Chinese city and the social, cultural, economic and political processes that shape it.

The first trip ran this year (March, 2019) during which we visited scholars, practitioners and town planners at Peking University, (Professor Bin Lu and Professor Pengjun Zhao), the Tsinghua Institute and 798. We also visit the Forbidden City and the Yuanmingyuan Gardens amongst other things.
