I was living in Taiwan with my wife and daughter on a one-year Fulbright grant when the pandemic hit. We soon realized that we were incredibly, undeservedly fortunate to be living in one of the precious few places on the planet that was successfully controlling the virus’s spread.
In a radically interconnected world, my research focuses on how educational desires have turned towards the global. More specifically, I situate my research in rapidly urbanizing spaces in China, where urban development and the growth of international schools have gone hand in hand.
Using approaches from sociology, political science, history, and literary and cultural studies, the contributors offer innovative and nuanced analyses of a wide range of topics from refugee displacement to street politics, from anti-communism and democracy to militarization. The collection begins with the national division in 1945 and devastating civil war and concludes with the May 18 Democratic Uprising in 1980.
