Gender and sexuality, social movements, feminist resistance, East Asia, the MENA region, research ethicsBackground
My research primarily focuses on feminist resistance under authoritarianism in East Asia, with a growing comparative interest in the Middle East and other contexts. My interest in gender and feminism first developed during my undergraduate studies in South Korea, where I witnessed the growing prominence of feminist debates. This encouraged me to further explore East Asian feminism(s) during my master's studies, and Chinese feminism for my PhD. I am also interested in the scholarly discussion of methods and ethics of conducting qualitative social research in challenging contexts.Academic qualifications
