施永仁 Brief introduction: Associate Professor of Sociology at University of Iowa. He focuses on social network analysis.
Kieran Healy Brief introduction: Associate Professor of Sociology at Duke University.
Dadao Hou Brief introduction: I used to read all his articles all night. He is a sexual minority. He majored in statistics at Peking University, then he majored in demography in Hong Kong, and then went to Texas A & M University to study sociology. I really like his words. However, it is difficult to find out where he is and what he is doing now through the Internet.
Yuqiong Li Brief introduction: Master student at New York University Center of Data Science. A graduate student in sociology once, working on social movements and cultural sociology. I feel deep regret for she deleted many articles she wrote in her early years, including reflection articles from sociological perspective, and some novels called “Bo Fulin’s love story (薄扶林爱情故事)”.
眼見Yuqiong Li的新博文，不知該評說些什麼。其因雨傘運動的觸動，從統計轉入社會系，又因現實壓迫轉至金融，滋味難盡，亦是我失去了一個可以先導的前輩。日後我或也轉入市场，卻也是沒有說法的事情了，人世畢竟各種各樣的限制太多，而我始終搖擺。2016.11.9 (I don’t know what to say when I see Yuqiong Li’s new blog post. Touched by the umbrella movement, she transferred from the Department of statistics to the Department of sociology, and then transferred to finance because of the reality. I’ve lost an academic predecessor. In the future, I may also enter the market to apply for a job, which is also unpredictable. After all, there are too many restrictions in the world, and I always vacillate.)
