Congrats! I remember teaching the article (upon which this book is based?) back in HK and how the entire class almost teared up when the student presenting highlighted “the stars are the same across the universe, they do not belong to either royals (jao) or plebeians (phrai)” ✨
“Political Divinations: Making Citizens Sovereign in Buddhist Thailand” is forthcoming with @UHPRESSNEWS!

“The Burdens of Love in Public Discourse in China” looks wildly similar to my own book. 1) who at Yale invited him? 2) will anyone challenge him at the talk? macmillan.yale.edu/eastasia/…

Honoured to have been interviewed for this fascinating phenomenon of "digital parents" & Q of "East Asian families;" thx for quoting my book on the politicization of (parental) love => the Internet as a resort for expressing familial intimacy & love:
