Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I received my Ph.D. degree in Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania in May 2020, with an M.A. degree in Statistics.
Sociology is the study of society, and society is composed of diverse groups of people. Among these groups, my research interest lies in the younger generations, particularly children and youth.
As most children today attend school, my primary research focus is on education.
Education is a part but not the whole of a child’s life. Children’s health, particularly their mental health, is also important. I believe that education and mental health are interconnected aspects of a child’s life, both contributing significantly to their overall development. In this regard, I am also interested in child development.
As a sociologist, I study education and child development from the perspective of social inequality. This means considering how children from different families have unequal resources and opportunities that ultimately shape their education and development. For this reason, social inequality is also a key in my research.
In sum, my research aims to understand children’s education and development from a perspective of social inequality. I explore how children and youth from different family backgrounds experience schooling differently and how these unequal experiences translate into distinct life outcomes, from childhood to adulthood.
