About
I study how people negotiate power and collective life under changing political conditions. Holding a PhD in History from Renmin University of China and pursuing a PhD in Sociology at the University of Alberta, I bring historical inquiry into conversation with digital sociology to examine the dynamics among state governance, transnational lives, and communities of practice. My research combines archival analysis, in-depth interviews, and netnography to explore how transnational Chinese communities are shaped by and respond to political constraints across time and space.
