He is the author of Queer Politics and Sexual Modernity in Taiwan (Hong Kong University Press, 2011), which critically examines the imbrications of homosexuality, prostitution and mainstream feminism in Taiwanese national culture. His current research on HIV/AIDS tracks the rise of the AIDS industry in Taiwan over the last decade. By focusing on analysing the new modes of emotional and sexual governance precipitated by neoliberalism, he explores the liminal politics of shame that forms a halo around the progression of AIDS human rights in Taiwan.
