Thanks to the invitation from Sophie Volpp and the Center for Chinese Studies at UC Berkeley, I had a memorable conversation with a lovely audience about my recent book Staging Personhood. Thank Ling Hon Lam for the conversation and for supporting the project from the time of its inception!

It’s the first time I talked about this book after it came about during the Pandemic. It wraps up a decade of my study in the States, coinciding with a turning point in the history of this country. We will all move on ahead!
