I have been translating AA’s works in since 2018. As of 2022, I have finished these three books:

• Processual Sociology is released as 《过程社会学》 from Beijing Normal University Press (北京师范大学出版社), June 2022.
  • Extra content: The section on Pierre Bourdieu (Originally the last section of Linked Ecologies. Not included in the book but as a supplement online.)
• Chaos of Disciplines is completed (2020.11.27) and currently under review. Tentatively titled 《学科的混沌》
  • Extra content: R code to reproduce Table A6.1
• Time Matters is completed (2022.3.3) and currently under review. Tentatively titled 《攸关时间》

Both CoD and TM are delayed due to issues with the publisher. The current estimated publication timeline is June 2024.

Apart from the books, I also translated several journal articles by AA. Please visit the source page for details.

Other Unpublished Works
