About
I am a PhD researcher at Southampton Business School, University of Southampton. My work is situated within feminist scholarship and is concerned with how social structures shape women’s lived experiences of injustice and inequality.
My doctoral project examines the relationship between reproductive policy and gendered workplace discrimination, using China’s three-child policy as an empirical lens. It explores how policy shifts around reproduction may reshape women’s labour-market experiences, particularly through care responsibilities, family expectations, workplace practices, and intersecting social positions such as age, marital status, motherhood, hukou status, and class. Drawing on qualitative interviews and informed by intersectionality and critical realism, my research seeks to understand both how inequality is experienced and the underlying mechanisms through which it is reproduced.
My broader research interests include feminism, gender justice, intersectionality, workplace inequality, and wider forms of social injustice affecting women’s lives.
