我的研究使用質性取徑，關注消費社會的政治經濟、食物和農業、日常生活中的基礎設施。在這些研究當中，我結合社會實作理論（social practice theory）、Callon的市場行動配置（agencement）用以推進Polanyi的「經濟作為制定的過程」（the economy as instituted processes）理論，並探索鑲嵌在社會中的經濟如何改變環境。透過研究，我期望以東亞的研究和西方理論對話。

我的博士論文研究消費社會的政治，比較台灣、中國和日本在戰後消費社會興起的過程，政府、媒體和公民社會扮演的角色。在逢甲大學任職的階段，我研究東亞另類食物網絡（alternative food networks）的發展，我分析消費社群如何重構日常實作、另類市場的行動配置、道德論述的跨國傳播、以及食物公民的基礎設施。

轉到東海大學後，我試圖以新的角度研究永續消費。在「新家佈置」的研究中，我分析城市規劃、建案和室內設計，以及屋主的造家實作，討論個層次的物質和論述如何建構美好生活。我最新的「水的基礎設施」研究計畫討論水消費的不平等、基礎設施和乾旱的互動、水的城鄉政治。 

My research employs a qualitative approach, focusing on the political economy of consumer society, food and agriculture, and infrastructure in daily life. In these studies, I combine social practice theory and Callon's market agencement to advance Polanyi's theory of "the economy as instituted processes" and explore how the economy embedded in society alters the environment. Through research, I hope to engage in dialogue between East Asian studies and Western theories.

My doctoral dissertation studied the politics of consumer societies, comparing the rise of consumer society in Taiwan, China, and Japan after World War II, and the roles played by government, media, and civil society. During my time at Feng Chia University, I researched the development of alternative food networks in East Asia, analyzing how consumer communities restructure daily practices, the agency of alternative markets, the transnational dissemination of moral discourse, and the infrastructure of food citizenship.

After moving to Tunghai University, I attempted to study sustainable consumption from a new perspective. In my research on "Assembling a New Home," I analyzed urban planning, real estate projects and interior design, as well as homeowners' home-making practices, discussing how material and narratives at various levels construct a good life. My latest research project, "Water Infrastructure," discusses inequalities in water consumption, the interaction between infrastructure and drought, and the urban and rural politics of water.
