I am interested in the sociology of gender, sexuality, and medicine. My dissertation examines the development of gender-affirming care in China using a multi-cited ethnography. Specifically, I ask two questions: 1) How does the gender-affirming care model gain traction within the Chinese healthcare landscape? and 2) How do various stakeholders, including healthcare providers, activists, transgender individuals, and their families, navigate this new approach to transgender medicine? Answers to these questions illuminate China's complex relations with global changes, offering insights into transnational and local dynamics reproducing challenges for transgender and gender nonconforming people.
