About Me

Hi! My name is Xing Chen (陈醒, meaning of my first name). I am an assistant professor at School of International Relations and Public Affairs at Fudan University. I obtained my PhD from Peking University in 2020.

My experiences in Shanghai ignited my interest in Politics. I study political psychology and political economy under authoritarianism, exploring how information, trauma, and psychosocial legacies shape mass political trust and elite decision-making. I am particularly interested in how the collective unconscious shaped by authoritarianism influences citizens’ information processing.

My research has appeared or is forthcoming in World Development, Research & Politics, Journal of Development Economics, Governance, and other journals.

Professional Activities

Teaching

At Fudan University, I have a lot of joy teaching quantitative methods and causal inference courses at various levels and sometimes received incredibly high teaching evaluation scores. At Peking University, I taught graduate-level microeconomics for international students.
