Subsequently, Peidong went to the University of Oxford to pursue his doctoral degree, working on the topic of talent migration, with a specific focus on Chinese student migrants in Singapore. Having completed his doctorate in 2014, Peidong is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Division of Sociology, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Nanyang Technological University.
