Just finished another peer review Over the past year I’ve reviewed 10+ papers across different journals but this is the first time I’ve wanted to recommend a direct accept. Really excited about this study and admire the author’s dedication to such an important project. Can’t wait to see it in print

(Oct 24–26) Attended our very first AACS conference, where we organized a panel titled “Transnational Imaginaries of Superiority and (Dis)Empowerment.” Our brilliant chair and discussant, Jiwon Yun (Yale University), offered such insightful comments and helped spark amazing cross-study discussions.

Beck’s theory offers a powerful framework for demonstrating how the process of ‘forging one’s own fate’ (Beck 1992, 135) enables Chinese WHMs to moderate, subvert, or nullify the limitations of their domestic environment through transnational mobility.

3. Reembedding—’Being yourself’ became central to their decision to stay in Australia beyond the program’s end, as they found greater physical, social, mental, and emotional space in Australia compared to China.

Qing Tingting Liu @bardjester.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

2. Disembedding—They did not identify with mainstream ‘common sense’ in China, rejecting expectations of (1) collectivism and uniformity, (2) interpersonal relations in the work- place, and (3) gender norms and heteronormativity.

1. Disenchantment—Many participants described feeling lost in the pre-migration context, uncertain about their career, identity, and future direction.

Qing Tingting Liu @bardjester.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

Based on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork and life-story interviews with 30 Chinese WHMs in Australia, I apply Ulrich Beck’s (1992) theory of triple individualization to conceptualize working holiday migration as a biographical response to institutional failure in their country of origin.

Third, it provides a comparative lens to examine how immigration regimes and labor markets mediate migrants’ sense of belonging and agency. By moving beyond methodological nationalism, this study shows the need for cross-national learning in shaping effective immigration policies.

Second, our findings underscore that privilege operates not as a fixed attribute but as a contingent and relational construct, shaped by transnational migration, national racial or class hierarchies, and structural opportunities.

Qing Tingting Liu @bardjester.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

This study contributes to the existing literature in three critical ways: First, our findings reveal how racialization is not solely determined by host-country structures but is co-constructed through transnational interactions between sending and receiving contexts.

两年后的2019年8月，在纽约参加ASA时与李姐重逢，一起推着双胞胎二少和三少逛中央公园…… 这是来美国读博故事中很重要的一部分 I am so glad that I took photos and made notes about some of the most significant moments from the past.

Like many friends, peers, and colleagues, the inspiration from sociologists like Michael Burawoy is the reason I am where I am now. 不知为何，他的去世首先让我想起在广州三元里第一次见李姐Thomas Fang Peng时的画面，记忆犹新，差不多快十年了。后来我们在学而优书店讨论过“naive式的美好”（naive beauty），在社区春节联欢晚会上和“反压迫戏剧”小组的老乡们表演了“来广州打工”的故事，最后在广州机场送他离开。不久后我也去了澳洲。

The International Sociological Association (ISA) deeply mourns the tragic passing of Michael Burawoy, a leading sociologist, Professor of Sociology at UC Berkeley, and the 17th President of ISA. Michael was fatally struck in a hit-and-run accident on February 3rd. His loss is immeasurable.
