From 2005 to 2009, I assisted research in Shanghai and travelled widely in Southwest China and Tibet. I conducted qualitative research independently in post-earthquake western Sichuan and ethnic autonomous regions in southern Gansu. In 2013, I was awarded a visiting fellowship at Lanzhou University, where I conducted fieldwork on ethnic minority bilingual education to understand deeper about the international migration chain of unaccompanied minors. 

My professional journey often leads me to work closely with highly mobile populations, including migrants, refugees, and pastoralists. I have developed effective skills as a facilitator of participatory workshops and educational training, leveraging my language teaching qualification and years of practical colloquial interviews. In response to local demands, I initiated and successfully crowdfunded two projects for refugee youth capacity-building events from 2013 to 2014 and subsequently designed structures for them to become self-sustaining.

From 2010 to 2016, I stayed at the Delhi School of Economics, Indian Institute of Technology Madras and Tibet Policy Institute for study, employment, and research collaboration. I continued the field research of Tibetan exile rehabilitation camps and diasporic life in Karnataka and Ladakh. My research met a transition to rural India in 2017 and connected to farmer's organisations. My PhD research focuses on indigenous and local communities adapting to environmental change in the Himalayan borderland facing post-colonial military tension between India and China. 

I come from Taiwan, another island impacted by coloniality and the Cold War - and still one of the frontiers today for the Western/OECD democratic countries against the Chinese communist authoritarian regime. 

I write in Mandarin and English; you can find my works from the directories in the upper bars.
