Dear colleagues and friends, Hope you are enjoying the season! Please join me in welcoming a new member to the SSYCDS listserv, Chenxi LUO. Below please find Chenxi's self-introduction. Welcome to our community! Chenxi Luo is a History Ph.D. candidate from Washington University in St. Louis. She specializes in slavery, ethnicity, and law in imperial China. She is now writing her dissertation titled "Bondage in the Age of Mobility: *Booi* Slavery, Migration, and Law in Early Qing China." Though trained in late imperial Chinese history, Chenxi has developed her interests in the history of Jurchens, Khitans, and Mongols in medieval China as well. In particular, she is interested in exploring the continuation (or the change) from Jurchens in medieval China to Manchus in Qing China. Sincerely, Yiwen Li Secretary, Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasties Studies Associate Professor of History, City University of Hong Kong
