Doctoral Student

Yung-Ying studies political ideas and practices at the micro and meso levels across various contexts, with a focus on transnational subjects and dynamics. Her dissertation examines how U.S. Chinese grassroots activists engage with both homeland and hostland politics through their participation in Asian American progressive movements and diaspora pro-democracy initiatives. Yung-Ying’s work broadly intersects with Asian and Asian American studies, collective behavior and social movements, global and transnational sociology, international migration, and political sociology.
