The PI has conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Beijing and Xi’an among Western English teachers in China. The result is one article published in American Anthropologist and one article accepted for publication in The Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies. The three postdoctoral researchers each has an article published or accepted by key journals such as Anthropological Quarterly, Ethnicities, and China Information. We organized an online international conference in early December 2020. All team members presented at the conference. We are in the process of editing and publishing two special issues based on nine papers selected from the conference, five of which are written by the team members. We also engage in academic exchanges with scholars from multiple disciplines such as sociology, history, geography, international relations, education, and media studies by organizing and participating in numerous seminars and workshops.
