Biography

Born in London, Professor Ian Holliday grew up in nearby Buckinghamshire. He graduated from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, with a BA and MA in Social and Political Studies, followed by New College, Oxford, with an MPhil and DPhil in Politics. He began his teaching career at the Department of Government, University of Manchester, and was also a Fulbright Scholar at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University. At City University of Hong Kong, he was Head of Public and Social Administration and Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences.

In 2006, he joined The University of Hong Kong for a five-year term as Dean of Social Sciences. Since January 2015, he has served as Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning).

Professor Holliday is passionate about teaching and learning. As Dean of Social Sciences, he spearheaded the introduction of a graduation requirement that undergraduate students complete off-campus credits in the twin areas of social innovation and global citizenship. He also created and for many years directed the Faculty’s MOEI program to enable undergraduate students to deliver intensive-mode English classes to children and young adults in impoverished and marginalized communities in Southeast Asia. Across seven cycles from 2008 to 2014, more than 300 MOEI students taught English to thousands of young people in Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar.

He has a special interest in Myanmar, where his major research focuses on the country’s politics and governance. This is also expressed in his collection of paintings by Myanmar artists, many of which are part of traveling exhibitions at public institutions. A selection of these works is featured in Painting Myanmar’s Transition (Hong Kong University Press, 2021), a book he co-edited with Aung Kaung Myat.

Professor Holliday is also the author of Burma Redux: Global Justice and the Quest for Political Reform in Myanmar (Columbia University Press, 2011), co-editor with Adam Simpson and Nicholas Farrelly of Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Myanmar (Routledge, 2018), and co-author with Roman David of Liberalism and Democracy in Myanmar (Oxford University Press, 2018).
