Current research interests:

My research interests include environmental history, science and technology studies, and animal studies. I ask how human and nonhuman forms of life have affected each other. My first book project is titled Serve the People: Bovine Experiences in China's Civil War and Revolution, 1935-1961. My second monograph is called Collateral Killing: Rodents and the Making of the Life Sciences in China, 1920-1980. Before becoming a lecturer in ALC, I received a doctorate in history from the University of California-San Diego. I also completed postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University's Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, and the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan.
