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 focus on labor. I am broadly interested in interactions between structural economic changes and political and social conflict. My current book project, Atomized Incorporation: Political Economy of State-Labor Relations in Contemporary China, examines political implications of labor unrest by analyzing the interactions between the Chinese government's labor control strategy and workers' political attitudes and behavior.
My other research interests include domestic determinants of trade policy, authoritarian government, migration, gender studies, and North Korean refugee issues. Please click here for my most recent CV.
