Yan Long is a postdoctoral fellow at the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at Stanford University. Her research examines the evolution of transnational health institutions and their impact on political and social determinants of inequality in health at the local level. Her book project, Side Effects: The Transnational Doing and Undoing of AIDS Politics in China, demonstrates how the transnational organizations’ endeavors to build community-based AIDS governance in China alternately sustained, disrupted, and transformed traditional forms of domination and resistance in health between 1989 and 2013. Long’s work has won the 2014 American Sociological Association Dissertation Award and the 2013 ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Award. She received a joint PhD in Sociology and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan in 2013.
