Personal Statement
I am a cultural anthropologist at the University of Florida located in Gainesville, Florida, the United States. My research interests have been developed around ethnography, historical anthropology, and anthropological demography. I have conducted extensive fieldwork among the Moso, Pumi, Naxi, and Han in Southwest China. Most of my current activities are concentrated on my five-year National Science Foundation CAREER Award project that combines research, training, and education. In addition to introductory courses on cultural anthropology, ethnographic methods, and Chinese culture and society, I also offer graduate-level courses on ethnicity, gender, the family, and population in China.
