Jiaqi Liu is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Singapore Management University and a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University. His research lies at the intersection of political sociology, international migration, law, human rights, and digital technologies. In an ongoing book project, “The Homeland's Long Arm: Diaspora Politics and the Limits of Global China,” Liu examines the complex dynamics between Chinese diasporas and an increasingly ambitious homeland state in the context of China’s global rise. His work has been recognized with five Best Article Awards from the American Sociological Association sections on International Migration (twice), Political Sociology, Human Rights, and Political Economy of the World-System. Liu holds a PhD from the University of California San Diego, a JD from the University of Arizona, and a Master of International Affairs degree from Sciences Po Paris.
