Ph.D. Student

I am a current Ph.D. student with a diverse background stemming from my experiences studying and residing in China, the United States, and the United Kingdom.  

My research interests are centered on affect theory with a particular focus on queer, Chinese, and youth identities. 

My research interest primarily revolves around diaspora social movements and alternative subcultures, including body modification.
