Research Interests
My research
focuses on the cultural politics of gender, sex, class, migration, and power
during the political, social, and cultural transformations in postsocialist China.
My first ethnography traces the profound intersection between state
power, the rise of entrepreneurial masculinity, rural migrant women, and the
sex industry in the context of post-socialism and globalization. My second
ethnography examines the interplay of gender politics, nationalism, and state
power that inhere in practices of birth control, disease control (STIs and
HIV/AIDS), condom use, and control of women’s bodies in the context of postsocialist
China’s economic and political liberalization.
My edited journal issue in Wagadu
and my edited volume by Routledge explore
the life experiences, agency, and human rights of women who are involved in a
variety of activities that are characterized as “trafficked” terrains in a
de-territorialized and re-territorialized world, to shed light on the
complicated processes in which anti-trafficking, human rights and social
justice are intersected. I am also the lead author of a book on
HIV/AIDS through an anthropology lens, which explores the epidemiological,
cultural, political and economic theoretical paradigms on HIV/AIDS and apply
them to regional and topic case studies.
My current research explores the political, economic, and cultural
factors that contextualize homosexual men’s sexual behaviors in the context of international lesbian and gay
movement and postsocialist China’s economic and
political liberalization.
