Framing Sociology in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore: Geopolitics, State and Its Practitioners

This project aims to map and compare how sociology as an institutionalized discipline of teaching and research had been developed in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore since its introduction in ss, and to interpret the observed trajectories and patterns in light of social-historical contexts.
