Politics, Culture, and Law: Exploring the Challenges of Identifying and Prosecuting Human Trafficking in China, co-supervised by Professors Michelle MIAO and Jingyi WANG.

RESEARCH INTERESTS AND AIMS

I am interested in Criminology, Criminal law, and Socio-Legal Studies. With my thesis, I hope to explore the anti-human trafficking challenges encountered by law enforcement in China and the multidimensional political, social, and cultural dynamics surrounding anti-human trafficking challenges. It is hoped that my doctoral dissertation will significantly contribute to anti-human trafficking research.
