En route to Leiden for #ICAS11. Come see my and Jeffrey Weng’s panel “ Sounding Chinese: Evolving Notions of Nation, Language and Identity”!

I'm delighted to share my latest article on language, social class, and nationhood, published in Theory & Society and now available online: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Been appreciating this YouTube series by Tom Mullaney youtu.be/LPPHPFQHksM

Delighted to share a new article! In investigating the 20th-century creation of modern China’s national language, I found I had to trace the parallel stories playing out in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Grateful to have had the shoulders of giants to stand on doi.org/10.1017/S00039…

Flattered. Thanks so much for this! 🙏

Honored this year to be joining my esteemed colleagues in sociology at National Taiwan University NTU Sociology 台大社會

My department is hiring! Two TT positions, open rank, all fields. A collegial working environment and plentiful research support. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions #soctwitter

While there is no official scheduled event at #AAS2022, @drugladney's original panel (E04 - Friday 3:30-5 p.m. Room 313B) Jeffrey Weng and @bennoweiner will allow time and encourage those who knew Dru/杜磊 to come, and share their remembrances. cdmcd.co/v98D8r

Dru Gladney kindly and generously agreed to be discussant for my panel (E04 Friday 3:30pm) at #AAS2022. Sadly, he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last week. My panel with @BennoWeiner will allow for time to remember him and the broad impact of his work

Teaching a course on historical sociology for the first time this semester. Tentative readings: Weber, Moore, P. Anderson, Skocpol &c. Archival research final project. Anyone mind sharing past syllabi? Would be incredibly grateful for any help! #soctwitter #twitterstorians

Thanks so much to Michelle Kuo (郭怡慧) and Albert Wu for their wisdom and support as I wrote personally for the first time in a long while! A true privilege to appear in their latest Substack post:

Next semester I'm teaching (in English) a graduate seminar in sociology on contemporary Chinese society. l'll shamelessly use it to catch up on all the recent social science (and adjacent) books on China. I'd be deeply grateful for any recommendations!

The deadline is approaching. Please tell suitable friends and colleagues to apply!
