| Obtained my first Ph.D. in Entomology at McGill University and, then studied sociology at McGill, I am now an associate professor in the Department of Sociology, the University of Chicago. I am interested in political sociology broadly defined. I am also interested in comparative historical sociology, sociology of emotion, ecological sociology, sociological theory and methodology. I have published a book on the 1989 Prodemocracy Movement in China. I have just completed a project on student nationalism. Currently, I am working on a project that compares environmental movements in Russia and China. I am also working on a project on historical sociology, which, based on a comparison with the European experiences, is intended to develop an empirically-grounded theory to explain the changes in state, military, economy and philosophy during China's Axial Age (722-221 BC), the unification of China under the Qin Empire (221-206 BC), and how developments in this period shaped China's next two-thousand-year's history. |
