I now fully recognize that I am an intellectual "fox" rather than a "hedgehog" (reference here), and has grown to be comfortable with this tendency. Here are a few topics that I am working on:
1) Just Transition in Taiwan
- Can bureaucrats change light bulbs? Institutional constraints of energy poverty alleviation programs in Taiwan (with Yu-Hsien Chen, Utilities Policy, 2025)
- Sensitizing Just Transition in Taiwan (with Shun-Nan Chiang, Climate Policy, 2024)
- 什麼是公正轉型？歷史脈絡、理論取向與在地化的展望 Just Transition: Conceptual Histories, Theoretical Discussions, and the Prospect of Localization (with Shun-Nan Chiang Yi-Chen Huang, and Wei Yang, Taiwanese Journal of Sociology, 2024)
- Equal rights for gasoline and electricity? The dismantling of fossil fuel vehicle phase-out policy in Taiwan (with Chia-Wei Chao, Energy Research & Social Science, 2022)
2) Market-based climate policy
- Lately, I translated the Carbon Offset Guide into Chinese, and serve as a member in Taiwan's carbon levy committee.
- Distributional effects of carbon pricing: An analysis of income-based versus expenditure-based approaches (with Cheng-Hsiang Shei and I-Yun Lisa Hsieh, Journal of Cleaner Production, 2024)
3) Climate change discourses and communication
- China's Climate Grand Propaganda on Social Media and Mass Media: Evidence from Twitter and State Newspapers (Energy Research & Social Science, 2025)
- Climate and energy misinformation in Taiwan (with Chia-Fen Lee, Frontiers in Communication, 2025)
- China deserves its hamburger: the controversy over WildAid’s Shu Shi campaign in China (with Juan Du and Tamara Mix, Environmental Sociology, 2024)
- Climate nationalisms: Beyond the binaries of good and bad nationalism (with Prakash Kashwan and Jahnnabi Das, WIREs Climate Change, 2023)
