Research
I am broadly interested in how civil societies mediate how people experience the state, access social services and make rights claims. I am currently looking at how an increase in private and public medical funding is shaping the non-profit provision of welfare to immigrants in LA. I am also working on a side project on Taiwanese civic tech activists’ changing relationship with their government.
