Biography
My research involves social, cultural and political change in contemporary China. I am currently working on several projects, including a comparative study of urbanization, kinship and the commercialization of ritual and a book on urbanization in a mid-sized city in Shandong. I have recently completed an edited volume titled Chinese Modernity and the Individual Psyche and a textbook on Contemporary Chinese Society. I have also written books on educational desire and governing, a book on the implications for anthropological theory of issues that arise in the governing of socialist states and a book on patterns of gift giving and social exchange in rural China. From 2006-2015 I was co-editor of The China Journal.
