My dissertation and book project, The Chinese Communist Party’ Radio Communications and Reconnaissance: Institutions, Technology, and Culture, 1930–1953, analyzes how continuous efforts to coordinate and centralize revolutionary movements in an internationalized civil war drove strong institutional and cultural developments centered around radio technology in the Chinese revolution. My second book project explores the Chinese Communist Party’s production and use of meteorological knowledge to build a socialist state in the 1950s and 60s.
