Across cultures, parents consistently reported that children should learn from adults via mechanisms like imitation and teaching, but with peers via collaboration! As always, special thanks to our participants, who took the time to help us understand their points of view!

My friend Yang Zhan and I hosted a Wenner-Gren workshop in Hong Kong: “Precarity & Urgency: Debating the future of China anthropology”. A rare opportunity to bring scholars together from all around the world, especially half of our participants being Chinese scholars based in mainland institutions.

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).
