研究方向与社会贡献  （Research direction and social contribution）

Her research focuses on diversifying housing trajectories, especially the housing strategies of recent migrants and city starters in growing cities. She aims to connect housing phenomena to their broader social contexts – for instance by involving the roles of education, demographic transition, social mobility, gender, and class for housing choices and the formation of new housing submarkets. To generate insights for policy and planning, she leverages new digital data opportunities and places them in dialogue with ethnographic fieldwork. Her dissertation project uses web scraped online advertisement data together with data from a multi-year ethnography to uncover the dynamics and social meaning of a hidden informal market for shared housing in Shanghai, China. Julia’s research has been funded by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Lusk Center for Real Estate. Her work has been published in the Journal of the American Planning Association, the Journal of Planning Education and Research, and Urban Studies.

她的研究聚焦多样化的住房轨迹，特别是城市增长过程中新移民和老市民的住房策略。她的研究致力于将城市居民的住房现象和与更广泛的社会背景联系起来，例如，通过纳入教育、人口转型、社会流动性、性别和社会阶层等因素，来讨论住房选择和新兴的住房市场。为了深刻理解相关政策和规划方案，她充分利用数字媒体时代的新型数据，并将其与采用民族志方法的田野工作相融合。她的博士项目利用了网络抓取的在线广告数据，结合多年积累的民族志资料，揭示了中国上海一个非正式的地下合租市场的动态演变和社会意义。 Julia的研究得到了林肯土地政策研究所、美国教育部和拉斯克房地产中心的资助，研究成果已发表在《Journal of the American Planning Association》、《Journal of Planning Education and Research》和《Urban Studies》等规划和城市研究类期刊上。
