Research

Overview

My main research interests are in feminist theory, interactionist sociology, sexuality, and intimate relationships. In recent years I have increasingly been focusing on gender and sexuality in East Asia and, in particular, working with colleagues in Hong Kong on the impact of political activism on personal lives and relationships.

Available PhD research projects

• Sexuality and embodiment
• Family and intimate relationships in East Asia
