Research Interests

My doctoral research examined the urban and social history of the Manchurian port city ofDalianduring the period of the Japanese occupation of the Liaodong leasehold inNortheast China(1905-1945). This work and subsequent research have explored issues surrounding the issues of migration, colonial governance, labor relations, and the construction of identity.

Over the past several years my research work has focused on the histories of disease and medicine in northeasternChina, particularly during the first half of the twentieth century. This work has been supported by grants from the Hannah Institute for the History of Medicine, and has involved extensive archival and field research in the People’s Republic ofChina,Japan,Taiwan, Hong Kong, theUnited Kingdom, and theUnited States. In particular this research has focused on issues surrounding the development of public health, the education of physicians and medical researchers, livestock diseases and veterinary medicine, and outbreaks of contagious diseases such as plague, cholera, influenza and tuberculosis.

I am also interested in contemporary issues surrounding labor migration in the People’s Republic ofChina, as well as the PRC’s relationship with overseas Chinese communities.

On-Going Project

I am currently completing a manuscript that explores the history of plague in modernAsiafor Cambridge University Press.
