My research focuses on the history of modern and contemporary China, in particular the history of materials and industrial design in Chinese politics and everyday life, the history of law, propaganda and information under Communist Party governance, and the history of political language and cultural production. I am interested in local and national perspectives, and I also try to situate China within broader international and transnational contexts.
