As a PhD student at the University of British Columbia, an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of Toronto, and a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, my research focused on the origins and development of population management in twentieth-century China. I've since branched out to studying other things as well. For more on my current research, see the Timeline of the Chinese Revolution, Alien China, and Other Projects sections of this site.
