About
Welcome to my website! Starting from September 2026, I am the Wang and Chen Senior in Taiwan Studies Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and also the Director of the Taiwan Program at the Walter Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) at Stanford University.
As a qualitative sociologist, I explore the complexity of intersecting social inequalities in everyday life, shaped by macro power dynamics such as globalization and international migration. Through my research, I seek to foster critical dialogues between academic scholarship and public conversations. My major publications include Global Cinderellas: Migrant Domestics and Newly Rich Employers in Taiwan (Duke 2006, won a Distinguished Book Award from the Sex and Gender Section of the American Sociological Association and ICAS Book Prize: Best Study in Social Science from the International Convention of Asian Scholars) and Raising Global Families: Parenting, Immigration, and Class in Taiwan and the US (Stanford 2018).
I received my BA and MA in sociology from National Taiwan University, and my PhD in sociology from Northwestern University. Before joining Stanford, I was a distinguished professor at the Department of Sociology at National Taiwan University. I also held visiting positions at several international institutions. I was 2024-2025 Stanford-Taiwan Social Science Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University, 2011-2012 Yenching-Radcliffe fellow at Harvard University, 2026-2007 Fulbright scholar at New York University, and a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Working Families, University of California, Berkeley (2000-2001). I also visited the Waseda Institute for Advanced Study, Kyoto University, Tubingen University, and IIAS at Leiden University.
I was the founding director of the Global Asia Research Center (GARC) at National Taiwan University (2017-2023). I have actively engaged in international professional networks, serving as Deputy Editor for Gender & Society (2023-2026) and an editor or board member for ten esteemed journals. My expertise has been sought by various local government agencies and global organizations, including my role on the advisory board for the UN Women.

我的研究使用質性研究取徑，關注日常生活中多重交織的不平等如何受到全球化與國際移動等鉅觀權力結構的影響。透過研究，我期望連結學術與公共對話進行對話。代表著作包括《跨國灰姑娘：當東南亞幫傭遇上台灣新富雇主》（行人2008、鏡文學2026）、《拼教養：全球化、親職焦慮與不平等童年》（春山2019），以及《成為新二代：多元文化與地緣政治下的跨國婚姻子女》（春山2025），獲得美國社會學會、中研院人文社科專書獎、科技部最具影響力專書獎、台北國際書展、開卷好書、金鼎獎等國內外獎項。
我在國立臺灣大學社會學系取得學士與碩士學位，在美國西北大學（Northwestern University）完成社會學博士學位。加入史丹佛大學前，我在臺大社會學系擔任特聘教授。我也在許多國際機構進行短期訪問：我曾任史丹佛大學行為科學高等研究中心（CASBS）2024–2025 年Stanford–Taiwan Social Science Fellow，2011–2012 年哈佛大學燕京–Radcliffe 研究員、2006–2007 年紐約大學 Fulbright 訪問學者，以及加州大學柏克萊分校家庭工作中心博士後研究員（2000–2001）。此外，我也在早稻田大學高等研究院、京都大學、杜賓根大學，以及萊頓大學亞洲研究所（IIAS）從事短期研究。
我是國立臺灣大學社會科學院創立亞洲社會比較研究中心（GARC）創始主任（2017–2023），多年來積極參與國際學術社群，目前擔任 Gender & Society 期刊副主編（2023–2026），並受邀擔任十餘本國際期刊的編輯或編輯委員會成員。我的專業亦受到地方政府與國際組織的重視，包括受聘為聯合國婦女署（UN Women）諮詢委員會成員。
