I am an interdisciplinary social researcher with an established track record in critically exploring the experiences of Chinese diaspora communities and broadly underrepresented groups in sport, health and physical activity/education. This line of research sought to identify the nuance connections between subjectivities and social structures, addressing the challenges and opportunities into the impacts of various forms of inequalities.

​

My theoretical interest is to explore and challenge the established cultural imaginary and to produce new knowledge from epistemological loci other than the ones traditionally embraced by power. My approach focuses on widening the knowledge base that enables a bilateral flow of knowledge and reshapes the academic landscape characterised by ‘a doer and done to’ binary relationship. My thinking is informed by the fields of sociology, psychoanalysis and pedagogy.

​

My research also explores the use and development of qualitative research and creative research methodologies to construct and represent minority experiences. This includes the use of arts-based methods, (auto)ethnographic methods, narrative inquiry and digital methods.
