I created a starter pack for sociologists studying China: go.bsky.app/NetJdDm. We study China’s labor, gender, family, inequality, organizations, education, professions, media, civil society, protests, immigration, as well as politics and history. Let me know if you want to be added (or removed).

Check out the @asaskat.bsky.social Starter Pack of 60 sociologists of science, knowledge, and technology! To be added in the list, use the Google Form in the next post. Will add folks every few days. go.bsky.app/UFYjuhM
