He was awarded a scholarship under the CASS Fund and visits the Center for Cultural Sociology (CCS) at Yale from August 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010. He is interested in cultural psychology and cultural sociology, social theory from the hermeneutical view, and the construction of the modern self of Chinese people. The collection of his several papers and book reviews advocating the hermeneutical approach has been sent by IS into the process of the application and examination of the CASS Press. The proposal of his visit is to make a theoretical framework of his empirical study which is a “deep description” of the identity crisis of contemporary Chinese people from the hermeneutical view.
