PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] – Ties to the PSTC often continue well after graduate students, postdocs, and visitors have moved on from the Center. A trip to China last fall afforded PSTC Associate and Professor of Sociology Michael White the opportunity to give presentations at multiple universities in Beijing and Shanghai as well as meet with former PSTC Trainee Juhua Yang, a professor of Demography at Renmin University. The two are collaborating on a paper examining migrant adaptation in China, and Yang will return to the PSTC this spring to continue her collaborations on gender with White and her former PSTC faculty mentor, Professor of Sociology Susan Short. 

In China, White and Yang attended a dinner in Beijing with Tan Lin, director of the Women's Research Institute of China, who is a former Fulbright visiting scholar to the PSTC.
