Chancellor's Professor of History. Wrote three books that contributed to our understanding of the interactions of state, society, and economy in the making of late Imperial and twentieth-century China. Reframed the growth of the world economy as the intersection of efforts emanating from many places, tracing its surprising impacts on the lives of so-called ordinary people around the world.
