Personal profile
Biography
I am a mother of three and a social historian of modern China. I earned my PhD from the University of British Columbia, specializing in the history of the People’s Republic of China. My work focuses on religion and politics, oral history and memory studies, and the history of state violence. My research examines the interactions between the CCP authorities and southern Yunnan Muslims from the early 1950s to the present day. My research articles have recently appeared in Modern China and the Journal of Chinese History.
