Event title: ‘Only Hope’ for the Family’s Capital Building Business? Queer Chinese One-Child Generation Daughters’ Reflection on their Upbringings and Identity Formation.

Date: Wednesday 26 April 2023

Time: 4-6pm (Lecture 4-5pm, Dinner 5-6pm)

Location: Bartolomé House (Moot Court), Winter Street, Sheffield, S3 7ND

All university staff and students, and members of the public are invited to attend this lecture.

Scarlett is a doctoral candidate at the University of Oxford, working on intimate relationships of queer Chinese women migrants in the UK. In her research, she investigates intimate relationships, intergenerational relationships, and (unconventional) family formation of 38 queer women migrants who are currently living in the UK but were born under China’s One-Child policy that was implemented from 1979 to 2015. In this talk, she will discuss how the policy intersected with urban middle-class parenting styles and shaped the personality, gender and sexual identity, and the understanding of love and intimacy of the women.
