Professor Xiaowei Zheng of the University of California at Santa Barbara's research interests include local history of the Qing dynasty and early republican political culture, with a focus on the emergence of popular nationalism and the potential of republicanism. Her most recent book "The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China," chronicles the 1911 Revolution and argues for its transformative effect. Her current project, tentatively titled "The Unfinished Mission: Constitutionalism in China," examines Chinese political discourse on popular rights, sovereignty and constitutionalism throughout the twentieth century.
