I am an Associate Professor of Sociology and have joint appoitment with the International Degree Program in Climate Change and Sustainable Development (IPCS) at National Taiwan University. My research mainly draws from sociological perspectives to study climate change and the environment. Since I moved back to Taiwan, I have been involved in the domestic climate policymaking, and most recently, I am spending lots of time thinking about Just Transition in Taiwan.
In my prior 13 years in the United States, I was an Assistant Professor at Occidental College for three years. During 2015-2016, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard Kennedy School. I earned my Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and joint master’s degrees from the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (MEM) and the International and Development Economics (IDE) program at Yale University. I view research as a team sport and enjoy working with colleagues across disciplines. For international scholars and students, there are plenty of oppurtunities to do short term research stay in Taiwan. Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) has the Taiwan Fellowship program; National Taiwan University and my departent regularly hosts visiting students and scholars.
