I received my B.A. from Fudan University in P. R. China in 1982, and Ph.D. in sociology from Stanford University in 1991. I taught at Cornell University for 3 years before joining the Duke Faculty in 1994. My main research interests are in the areas of organizations, economic sociology, and social stratification. My current research examines the evolution of redistribution under state socialism, interfirm contractual relationships, and reputation phenomena in the marketplace. I teach Organizations and Management (SOC 155), a new course on politics and society in contemporary China (fall, 2003), as well as graduate seminars in organizations and social statistics.
