She loved her students and her colleagues as well. Her dissertation research on transnational Chinese entrepreneurs was a ground-breaking study bringing together issues in migration theory, cultural change, and emerging technologies. She continued her research even after her cancer diagnosis. A few months before she passed away, while under heavy cancer treatment, she presented her research to two conferences: a paper “Reflexive Subjectivity: An Ethnography of Transnational Chinese Professionals” at the American Association of Behavioral and Social Sciences conference, and another paper “Understanding the Digital Tribe: Ethnographic Methods and Chinese High-technology Professionals” was presented to the annual Ethnographic & Qualitative Research Conference. She was particularly fascinated by the new “sharing economy,” businesses like Uber and Airbnb, not necessarily because she thought they were good from a labor or community standpoint but because of their fluid organization and overnight global impact.

Please note that there are two policies that impact how we respond to information shared in scholarship essays. These are Executive Order 1097 (which relates to sexual assault, partner violence, and stalking) and Executive Order 1083 (which relates to child abuse). Once CSU faculty members are apprised of such incidents, we are required to report the incident to a campus officer, regardless of whether the student intended to report this information reported or not. While all instances of child abuse are mandated reports, individuals impacted by sexual violence, dating/domestic abuse and stalking in the Cal Poly Pomona community may seek confidential services through CPP’s Survivor Advocacy Services.
