About

I am currently an Ashoka University and Harvard Yenching Institute Postdoctoral Fellow in China Studies. My research focuses on religion in modern China. Specifically, I am working on a project about communal temples and urbanization in Xiamen, a coastal city in Southwest China.

Previously, I worked as Assistant Teaching Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. I completed my MA in Religious Studies at Queen’s University and PhD in East Asian Studies at McGill University. I was a visiting doctoral fellow in the Department of History at Xiamen University and studied Chinese language at Sichuan University and National Taiwan Normal University.
