Steven Lin has written a PhD thesis entitled „Maoist Sentimentality: Emotional Governance and Political Deliberations under Maoism (1910–1966)“ that discusses the emergence of Maoist sentimentality as a distinct element of ideological campaigns in the twentieth century. As member of the Writing History with China, his PostDoc project „Post-Mao Sentimentality? The Sentimental Landscape in the Chinese Reform Era“ addresses the impact of globalization on sentimentality in the post-Mao era. It asks how revolutionary sentimentality was reshaped amidst profound socio-economic change, and how it contributed to the fostering of social integration in a rapidly changing society after the end of the Cultural Revolution.
