In June 2024, I organized the "Charting Paths to Prosperity: A China-Brazil Roundtable" at Stanford University. This initiative brought together scholars from North America, South America and Asia to debate the historical pathways to modernization and policy responses to development challenges in Brazil and China.
You can check out my presentation at the Summer 2024 Hoover Board of Overseers Meeting, where I talk about my responsibilities in research and teaching at Stanford University.
I am currently teaching an undergraduate course, "Comparative Development of Latin America and East Asia: Lessons from the Latecomers" at Stanford University. Check out the course syllabus by clicking on the button below.
For my next research project, I plan to dive deep into how China will tackle the Middle Income Trap and explore whether Brazil's experience can serve as a precursor or guide. I'll closely examine how human capital and labor market dynamics connect to China's shift from a low-skill, labor-intensive economy to a knowledge-based economy. While many studies have already explored these areas, my unique contribution will be to analyze how rising feminism in China impacts existing challenges such as demographic decline, risks of brain drain, and labor market gendered imbalances.
