I created a starter pack for sociologists studying China: go.bsky.app/NetJdDm. We study China’s labor, gender, family, inequality, organizations, education, professions, media, civil society, protests, immigration, as well as politics and history.
Let me know if you want to be added (or removed).

Repost (replacing the previous pack due to technical issue). You're welcome to join this more focused group of international scholars working on late imperial China. Please feel free to share and reply if you're interested, and add hashtag #lateimperialchina to future posts.

Pleased to share a Chinese anthology of my research articles that will be published this month. With 14 chapters, it includes most of my research articles over the last fifteen years outside the monographs. It took 4 years for retranslating/editing/revising/proofreading. More info. at t.cn/A6n3tcDh

I could be wrong, but I haven't found any group for scholars of comparative/global legal studies/history (indeed, even for legal scholars/historians). This has been a big part of my research interest, so I have added one more choice if there is any other starter pack already. go.bsky.app/3UAVSRu
