His current book project, Imagining Sovereignty: Maps and State-Building in Modern China, investigates how maps and visuals shaped territorial narratives during Japanese invasions (1930s–1940s). He teaches courses on modern Taiwan, China, and East Asia, emphasizing themes like warfare, gender, memory, and colonialism. His research integrates visual analysis with textual sources, highlighting grassroots contributions to geographic nationalism.
