My name badge at a workshop in Singapore. I like how Singaporeans put my surname before my given name. Glad to join the ranks of super important Chinese people who are addressed in that order, like Xi Jinping or Mao Zedong 😝😝

A friend emailed me saying that my article on China's emigrant citizenship laws inspires their dissertation on South Korea's nationality policies! So excited that my work can transcend its national contexts and generate dialogue with scholars working on other jurisdictions🤩🤩🤩

My first peer-reviewed paper, published online 6 months ago, just received its first citation!! It comes from my second paper though... But I have absolutely no regret that the first citation in my life is a self-citation. #AcademicTwitter #phdlife

@aleluzhci @PamOliver1180 @AcademicChatter @OSFramework Thank you!! This is very helpful. Does "embargoed" mean the preprint can't be cited and remains anonymous? It's unbelievable that we need all these extra steps just to avoid being plagiarized.

Am I the only one who always finds the acknowledgment the most enjoyable part of every academic book?? Especially the last paragraphs where authors thank their family members, so adorable!

People always told me being on the market is a full-time job. But to me, it's really an overtime job. Been working on a paper during the day and preparing for interviews at night. I'm so exhausted.

The first package I opened after being away for a month is the @ASApoliticalsoc student paper award plaque for my paper “State Power Beyond the State: Digital Infrastructures of China’s Diaspora Governance During the Pandemic.” Fingers crossed for its R&R due in Nov 🤞🤞

@beijingscribe That means so much to me. I'm not from the countryside per se, but my hometown is a small county seat where education is under-resourced. Only began to learn English in junior high with cassette tapes, while peers from top-tier cities have had a head start since kindergarten.

@OolongTeaCher @JenniferMusial Thank you for the suggestion! But establishing a clear timeline would be incredibly challenging. It involves multiple journals, and the peer review process notoriously lacks transparency. I'm not sure if these journals are willing to share such information.

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.

I appreciate the critical stance of scholars who study "Asia as Method" "China as Method" or even "Self as Method," but how can these things be practical methods? They are at best perspectives. These stylized "methods" may risk self-isolating Asia & China and fall into elitism.

My imposter syndrome plus busy dissertation fieldwork made me miss almost all deadlines for dissertation fellowships. But today I won a small grant! Due to the pandemic, it’s going to be my first in-person ASA and I’m so psyched! Many thanks to @ASAStudentForum for the support!
