RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research broadly focused on development, issues at the environment-society nexus, and China’s global engagements. I have conducted research on infrastructure, rural livelihoods, disasters, critical minerals, public health, economic zones, and US-China competition. I am committed to long-term fieldwork & aim to connect grounded cases with global processes. My regional expertise is in Laos, China, Tibet & the Himalaya, and North America.
