I am a historian of early modern and modern China. My research examines the formation of administrative legal orders, with a particular emphasis on state-making and the role of culture. My recent work on ritual and law in Qing China highlights a sophisticated legal code used to standardize and regulate political and administrative operations, which illustrates characteristics of a rational bureaucracy in early modern China. I received my PhD in History and East Asian Languages from Harvard University, and am currently a Jerome Hall Fellow at Indiana University Maurer School of Law.
