I am a Ph.D. student at the CUNY Graduate Center, specializing in International Relations and Comparative Politics. My research focuses on the intersection of immigration, border politics, human rights, and international organizations. I am particularly interested in understanding how integration policies work, how immigrants think about political participation, and the relationship among integration, democracy, and citizenship. I expect that the CACI fellowship will strengthen both my teaching and scholarship by deepening my knowledge of China and providing tools to understand how China manages immigration.
