Jensen Jiang

Future PhD student in Political Science at LSE

I am a future PhD student in Political Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), starting in September 2025. My research focuses on the household registration system (Hukou), the evolution of internal migration regulations, and their effects on public political attitudes in China. Using survey data and empirical methods, I examine how migration policies influence redistribution preferences, regime support, and social integration in authoritarian contexts.

I hold a Master of Political Science (Political Science and Political Economy) from LSE, where my dissertation explored the impact of the 1999 higher education expansion on political opinions in China. I also hold a Bachelor of Commerce (Business Economics) from UNSW Sydney. My work contributes to the broader study of political economy, authoritarian regime stability, and migration governance.
