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.
CSEAS hosted the online symposium Scholar-Activism and the Myanmar Resistance on March 9. During this event, scholar-activists analyzed and strategized for resistance to Myanmar’s military coup. The event included two panels [online] and a virtual exhibit [posted to the CSEAS YouTube channel].
Panel 1: Insights from Comparative Contexts
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.

Thanks to the generous support from the Center of Chinese Studies, I spent almost every summer in the past few years working in the Shanghai library and making friends with local scholars and librarians. This tradition was disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. I was stuck in Berkeley and exiled from library stacks.
Support from the Center for Chinese Studies has been crucial to my research on textual scholarship and poetic culture in late eighteenth-century China, as I explore how the classical literary tradition was being radically reconstituted and restaged on the eve of the Opium Wars.
