I am a PhD candidate in Sociology at McGill University, with a Graduate Option in Gender and Women’s Studies. Before starting my journey as a PhD student in Montreal, I received an MSc in Sociology from the University of Oxford, and a BA in the Interdisciplinary Program of Humanities and Social Sciences from National Tsing Hua University.

My research is organized around three areas of inquiry: marriage and family dynamics; cultural and meaning-making processes; and social mobility within and across generational lines. In each of these areas, I pay particular attention to how sex, gender and sexuality intersect with other axes of social inequality. To this end, I conduct both quantitative and qualitative research based on various types of data, including censuses, administrative tax records, surveys, and interviews.

Thus far, my work has appeared—or is forthcoming—in the Journal of Marriage and Family, Demographic Research and the Journal of Population Research and has been generously funded by the Department of Women and Gender Equality (Canada), the Canadian Research Data Centre Network, the Government of Taiwan, among other funding agencies.
