Since completing my first book, I have been pursuing the following projects, all of which speak to my interest in the growing significance of science and technology in politics, economy, and society.
In the first project, I expand my previous work on the public sphere to examine the relationship between spheres of experts and publics in transnational China, using the human genome editing controversy as an example. The second project examines the evolving modes of labor control--including technological, legal, and organizational control--as well as their the relationship with labor contention in the platform economy. In the third project, I consider the role of the developmental state in automation and the state-capital-worker relations. The fourth project aims to analyze the Chinese state's efforts to upgrade the economy and the social consequences of such efforts.
- Publics, scientists, and the state (an R&R paper)
- Platform economy ( an R&R paper)
- Upgrading China through automation: manufacturers, workers, and the developmental state (an R&R paper)
- Upgrading the nation (a book project under contract with the Princeton University Press)
