Dr Leibold’s research interests include the role of ethnicity, race and national identity in modern Chinese history and society. His recent book, Reconfiguring Chinese Nationalism, explores the role of the frontier and its indigenes in fashioning the contours, boundaries, and meanings of modern Chinese identity. His new research projects includes a critical analysis of the category of “Han” identity in China and a history of archaeology as an academic discipline in China and its intersections with modern notions of time, space and identity.
