More than a decade ago,I joined my mentor in writing a chapter for a volume on media and society(McLeod,Kosicki,&Pan,1991).In that chapter,we set out to dispel some of what we regarded as misunderstandings of empirical research on media effects. In large part,the chapter was written to respond to criticisms leveled against this line of research by critical scholars and cultural studies scholars and to insist on the significance of what has been labeled as“the administrative research”(Gitlin,1978).Our effort can hardly be taken as a success. A clear indication is that the piece was removed from the subsequent editions of the same volume.

Repatriate junior faculty had typically been away from China for a considerable number of years before taking a job offer with some university at home. The length of their absence quite limits these individuals' connections with the environment where they started to pursue professorship not long *** on the few months of my being an assistant professor in a business college,I feel that my teaching and research activities are challenged and even hampered by(1)the scarce social links I have with the Chinese business sector and (2) my limited knowledge about the social,economic and cultural evolutions in China since the late 90s. However,I have found that my students' social network provides a valuable resource for me to tap into to shorten my current distance from the Chinese society and make my teaching and research more localized.
