This seminar will present my ongoing research on the global shadow economy and its implications for border governance. I will discuss the ways grey governance and infrastructural politics at border checkpoints facilitate transnational mass smuggling by ordinary people. I will also share my experience in journal publication and editing during the seminar.

He previously taught at Leiden University and Erasmus University Rotterdam and is currently the editor of China Information and co-editor of the Journal of Contemporary Asia.
