About Kevin

I am a researcher and rights advocate with attention towards social justice, social movements, labor, China, and U.S. foreign policy.

Before that, I was a Fulbright grantee in Taiwan and a Junior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. A number of outlets have published my writings: some include ChinaFile, South China Morning Post, Foreign Policy, The Diplomat, and In These Times. I've also been interviewed by the BBC, CNN, NYT, WSJ, The Guardian, New Yorker, Washington Post, CNBC, NPR, and others. Education: MA in advanced Chinese from The Ohio State University and a BA in political science and sociology from the same school. Unless expressly stated otherwise, opinions on this blog are my own.
