Academic and Professional Background:

My undergraduate (June 1985), master’s (June 1989) and doctoral (June 1995) degrees were all obtained from the Department of History of National Taiwan University.  I was an Assistant Research Fellow (August 1996–March 2004) and an Associate Research Fellow (April 2004–June 2014) of the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica. From July 2012 to July 2018 I was Professor of the Department of History, Chinese University Hong Kong.

 

Research Interests:

I have been influenced especially by economic anthropology and the new institutional economic history; these approaches shape my primary research focus on commercial law and market evolution in Ming-Qing China (1368–1911).  My latest work concentrates on the evolution of knowledge and worldview as seen against the economic and legal changes of sixteenth- to nineteenth-century China. I am currently writing a book that examines the interaction of material life and legal norms in an upper Yangzi River city, Chongqing, on the eve of the mid-nineteenth century.
