Research Interests: My doctoral research sits at the boundary between transnational family migration, everyday parenting, social reproduction and late modernity. My research interests encompass topics related to transnational mobility, migration from the Global North to the Global South, transnational spaces, embeddedness and the geographical imagination of China as a destination for international migration. My research is mainly empirical and qualitative; they usually explore transnational family migrants residing in China (usually from economically developed countries) and Chinese emigrants overseas. I mainly draw on Bourdieu鈥檚 theory of forms of capitals, Bauman鈥檚 theory of liquid modernity, Beck and Giddens鈥� theory of risk, and the geographical theories of transnationalism and cosmopolitanism to inform my empirical research. Besides, I also have a long interest in Foucault's theory of discourse, knowledge and the body.
