Jamie Wong

Jamie Wong is an assistant professor at Princeton University, jointly appointed in the Department of Anthropology and the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS). She works at the interface of political and economic anthropology, science and technology studies, and China studies. Her research broadly focuses on the relationship between computational technologies and governance in China against the backdrop of emerging global systems of technology and finance. Through fieldwork among venture capital investors, startup founders, and their government partners in China, she ethnographically investigates how their understanding and practices of nested logics of “scale” shape subjectivities and configurations of Chinese state and society. She also studies the implications of China's internet culture and digital economy for governance and civil discourse.
