Tamara Perkins' main research interests focus upon
transformations in mainland China since the advent of market
reforms in the late 1970s, especially the question of
socioeconomic inequality among different segments of the
population. When she has her sociological hat on, her
subfield interests include economic sociology, women in
development, inequality and methodology. Just recently ,
Prof. Perkins began a collaborative project on the emerging
credit card industry in urban China in hopes of
understanding both its institutional and cultural
underpinnings. She has lived, worked and studied in China
for more than six years, one year of which was spent living
and working in several villages in a township in southern
Tianjin Municipality.
