Check out my profile on ResearchGate or look at my CV.
To learn about my research, I recommend that you check out Colgate Research article about my scholarship, titled, "The Surprising Ways Chinese Citizens Respond to National Problems." You can also look at my article in China Information, which describes how Chinese citizens are still able to push back against the state, even under Xi Jinping’s authoritarianism.
Currently, I am part of a research group that conducts the Civic Participation in China Survey. We have been tracking changes in the relationship between citizens and the state in China since 2018, including new forms of activism and mobilization. You can learn more about our research in this Washington Post article, "Not Everyone in China Thought the Government could Handle the Coronavirus" You can also read our recent academic articles, published in Democratization, the Journal of Contemporary China,and the Journal of Current Chinese Affairs.
My previous research was on the rise of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in China. You can learn a little bit about this research by checking out my paper for the China Policy Institute or my talk at the Brookings Institute. You can also read my book: Social Entrepreneurship and Citizenship in China.
