RESEARCH INTERESTS

Yuan-Ming Chinese social history. The social and political history of non-Chinese personnel in Mongol Yuan and Ming China, an outgrowth of my doctoral research on Uyghurs in Yuan China. In addition to traditional prosopographic approach I am collaborating with a colleague in Geography to perform network analysis on compiled biographical data on Yuan political elites. My goal is to eventually integrate my data into the large Chinese Biographical Database at Harvard.

Islam in Yunnan. Research on the history and current socio-political role of the Yunnan Chinese Muslim (Hui) community, again growing out of my dissertation work on Uyghurs in Yuan, some of whom migrated to Yunnan at the end of the Yuan. My research includes work in provincial and local archives and interviews with Hui residents in Kunming, Chuxiong, Yao'an, Dali, and Jianshui, Yunnan.

Modern Chinese Ethnicity Policy. This research area builds on my longstanding interests in premodern Chinese relations with non-Chinese, especially Xinjiang/northwest China and Central Asia areas, and examines issues of ethnic identity that relate to Chinese domestic and foreign policy in that region of China, and China's relations with Central Asia. This research has found expression in three seminars I have constructed and taught, "Cold War in East Asia," "Nationalism and Ethnicity in China," and “Modern Silk Roads: China and Central Asia Reconnected.”
