Zhūlóng (猪龙) Archives is a platform for curated materials and ideas related to modern Chinese history. The site is experimental and there is no final form. My simple hope is that it will evolve into a way to connect with broader audiences curious about China, and as a resource for scholars at a time when historical research in and about the PRC remains trammeled.
About me
My name is Brian Spivey and I'm a historian of modern China. Currently I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Australian Centre on China in the World at the Australian National University. I've spent over five years living in China and Taiwan.
The bulk of my research looks at the relationships between the environment, science and technology, industry, and politics in 20th century China. I also write about the history of the Uyghur people and ethnopolitics in the PRC.
