Teaching 教學

Teaching in the United States and Taiwan since 2013. Courses span sociological theory and methods, social policy, and — more recently — the social consequences of AI.

Two languages, two systems 在教室裡

From Principles of Sociology at the University of Florida to medical sociology and applied AI at Soochow University, the aim has stayed the same: help students see how structure works, and give them the tools to test it against data.

Two courses at Soochow are taught entirely in English, for international and exchange students.
