LOW Kwang Meng

I am interested in ancient texts and languages, as well as M.M. Bakhtin’s literary theory. My research attempts to bring these two interests together to find new meaning for ancient text.

I obtained my Bachelor of Theology and Master of Divinity from TCA College, and Master of Theology from Trinity Theological College. I have also completed my Master of Education (Digital Learning) with Monash University in 2018. I am currently pursuing a part-time PhD in English Literature
