One of my dissertation papers was awarded a prize at Academy of Management - Public and Nonprofit Division. The paper reveals how market administrators in Maoist China selectively enforced anti-market policies, reshaping institutions from below and creating the conditions for tacit market creation.

My co-authored article was awarded the Gordon White Prize from China Quarterly! The article offers a counter-narrative of China's economic development, revealing the scope of underground market activity even during the height of anti-capitalist campaigns in the 1960s-70s.

The talk shows how space is not simply a container or context in which entrepreneurial action occurs, but rather, is the target, substance, and product of entrepreneurial action.

The talk drew insights from two extraordinary case studies: 1) a junkyard village that catered to migrant beggars in Xi'an
2) Micro-apartments built atop the roof of a 12-story office building that housed rural migrant youths in Shanghai.
