Thesis
The postgraduation non/feminist lives of mainland Chinese students of gender studies after their return home
My study aims to explore how Chinese students who pursued gender studies in Western universities adopt, adapt, reinterpret and reconstruct the diverse feminist knowledge they acquired overseas, as well as domestically, to address gender inequality in their everyday lives within the unique social, cultural and political landscape of China.
