- Research interests
-
My research focuses on young female students who have studied in Western nations and returned to China after graduation. The primary objective is to explore the ways in which transnational education mobility influences the lives of these young women, and how they navigate and challenge patriarchal power dynamics while (re)constructing their own subjectivity in neotraditional China.
