Hello! I'm a Canadian man of European descent, and I've lived in China with my family for more than 10 years. I specialize in

Academia
, but I'm still publishing articles and working on two scholarly books.

I edit Wikipedia as an artisan builds a mosaic, little piece by little piece. This is why I can be very slow, but I believe meticulousness helps to create lasting, reliable content.
