His book project, <em>Out of Many Voices, One: Language and the Reinvention of the Chinese Nation, <\/em>addresses the puzzle of Chinese unity amid the disintegration of other multiethnic empires in the twentieth century. It argues that the resort to Chinese or Asian exceptionalism\u2014an Orientalizing tendency to regard Chinese and other East Asian societies as exceptionally homogeneous\u2014is a common move in explaining China\u2019s anomalous unity, one based on shaky premises and a faulty understanding of the country\u2019s cultural and linguistic diversity. At the very least, ethnic or cultural exceptionalism cannot explain Chinese unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weng holds degrees from Yale and the University of California Berkeley. Before joining the NTU faculty, he held an appointment as Shorenstein Postdoctoral Fellow in Contemporary Asia at Stanford University. His work has appeared in publications including the <em>Journal of Asian Studies<\/em> and <em>Theory and Society.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs-child uagb-tabs__body-container uagb-inner-tab-1\" aria-labelledby=\"uagb-tabs__tab1\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">B.A., Department of Political Science, Yale University<br>M.A., Department of Sociology, University of California Berkeley<br>Ph.
