- Research Interests:
I did my undergraduate work at Tunghai University, Taiwan, received my M.A. from Syracuse University, and finished my Ph.D. at Michigan State University in 1966. I taught at Johns Hopkins University and the State University of New York at Albany, before joining the Duke faculty in 1990. My main research interests are social networks and social capital, the life stress process (especially social support as resources), social stratification and mobility, and Chinese societies. I teach Cybernetworks (Soc. 114), Methods of Social Research (SOC 132), Social Capital (Soc. 228), and Stress and Coping (Soc. 227)and others.
