Podcast interview with Yan Long, an Assistant Professor of Sociology at UC Berkeley specializing in the politics of public health in China. Formerly holding the same position at Indiana University and serving as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Stanford Center for Philanthropy and Civil Society, she earned her PhD at the University of Michigan and her master’s and bachelor’s degrees at Beijing University.
Matrix Social Science Communications Scholar Jennie Barker engaged in a conversation with Long, delving into her upcoming book titled "Authoritarian Absorption: The Transnational Remaking of Infectious Disease Politics in China." In this book, Long explores the impact of foreign interventions targeting the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China during the 1990s and 2000s. She analyzes how these interventions influenced the Chinese public health system, government, and society, both aligning with and diverging from the intended outcomes.
