I suspect a senior scholar has plagiarized my work during peer review. They rejected my submission but published an article with similar arguments. What can I do? This isn't the first time this senior scholar has plagiarized my work. Meanwhile, my article kept getting rejected...

Wrapped up my first year of teaching on the tenure track!! My Intro to Soc class explores various Gen Z topics, such as egg freezing, gaslighting, online dating, superfoods, fitness centers, and cosmetic surgery. So glad to have learned about these new topics with my students!

Who else finds the title brainstorming phase the most enjoyable part of academic writing? Every new project feels halfway complete once I've come up with a catchy title! 😆 #AcademicChatter

My Gen Z students sometime skip email replies and instead give me a thumbs-up reaction (👍), which only appears in Outlook notifications. Am I already too old? I thought I was one of the youngest Assistant Professors here…

I’ll discuss how China integrates Chinese overseas students into its geopolitical strategies and how overseas students and grassroots officials challenge this policy. Based on my 2022 International Migration Review (IMR) article. Thanks, Yintan Fan范因坦 for the invite!

It puzzles me every time my Singaporean students ask me to give a definitive “right” answer during discussions. I’ve tried very hard to promote a culture of inquiry-based learning and highlight the value of diverse perspectives, esp for subjects like sociology. Teaching is tough!

Visited a colleague's class today for teaching insights. Sat in the back, and within 3 minutes, a fellow undergrad asked if I attended last week. Gotta love being mistaken for a student! #TeachingAdventures

I’ve enjoyed the first day of this conference! Met several scholars whose work has long influenced my thinking. Looking forward to my presentation tomorrow on how digital infrastructures enabled China to expand its governance abroad onto Chinese diasporas. #GlobalChina

Just wrapped up a fruitful month of fieldwork in Spain with 32 interviews. One interviewee shared, 'Your interview felt like therapy. I've never reflected on my life quite like we did today. I may be anonymized in your eventual book, but I'm so happy to have played a part in it.'

My first book review just dropped International Migration Review (IMR)! I enthusiastically recommend Anne-Christine Trémon's new book 'Diaspora Space-time' to researchers who study Global China, diaspora engagement, and emigration communities.

Can’t wait to delve into Sheena Chestnut Greitens’s amazing new book!!

Received student evaluations for the first course I taught! Grateful for the helpful feedback and encouragement. They described my passion for sociology as 'infectious.' As a proud nerd, I especially cherish this comment: 'his humor really helps to sustain people's attention.'🤩

I was truly saddened when I heard about Xiaohong's illness. I not only admire his scholarship but also appreciate his community-building efforts for China-focused qual sociologists. Please consider supporting him and his family during this difficult time.
