Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva. Before joining the Institute, I was a post-doctoral fellow in the Center for the Study of Contemporary China at University of Pennsylvania. I received Ph.D. from the department of Political Science at Stanford University.
My research bridges international and comparative political economy with a regional focus on China. I am broadly interested in interactions between economic change and social conflict. My current book project, Atomized Incorporation: Political Economy of State-Labor Relations in Contemporary China, examines how the Chinese government's labor management strategy has evolved since the reform era by focusing on the regime's approach to migrant workers' protests.
My other research interests include domestic determinants of trade policy, authoritarian government, nationalism, migration, and North Korean refugee issues. Please click here for my most recent CV.
