I am third-year PhD student in Political Science at CUNY Graduate Center specializing in political theory and comparative public policy. My research focuses on the intersections of power, justice, and gender, with particular attention to how policies affect marginalized communities. I am especially interested in the implementation of conversion therapy bans across different national contexts, using feminist theory and critical policy studies to analyze how gendered and sexual norms shape policy outcomes. I expect that the CACI fellowship will help me develop as both an instructor and scholar by providing deeper engagement with Chinese political thought and contemporary governance, enriching my ability to integrate non-Western perspectives into my research and teaching on power, justice, and policy.
