PhD research

“Innovating China”: Governance and Mobility in China’s New Economy
Supervisor: Frank Pieke
In her research, Yujing Tan draws on the ethnography of “doing innovation” in the current massive socio-economic transition in urban China. She approaches the emergence of Chinese innovation, a political-economic transition as well as a social movement, from the perspective of sociology and anthropology. Her almost-finished thesis is a result of thirteen-months of fieldwork research in Shenzhen, the borderland established as a “special economic zone” in 1980 that is now being gentrified as an “innovation city.”
