Research interests
My research area is interdisciplinary, and draws on a variety of fields including politics, international relations, history, social and political theory within the realms of Chinese and East Asian studies. Currently, I am focusing on the study of ordinary people in wartime China, the strategies and tactics that they deploy in face of political changes, their changing relationships with the state, and the ways they were represented in the process.
