John Herman’s research project examines Qing dynasty (1636–1912) expansion into China’s southwest frontier from roughly 1650 to 1750. He is interested in the relationship between state-sponsored land reclamation policies, provincial officials tasked to carry out reclamation projects, Chinese settlers in search of land, and the indigenous non-Chinese.
