I am a PhD student in sociology at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI). I am a member of the LNU (the Level of Living) research group at SOFI. I hold a master's degree in sociology from Nanjing University and a bachelor's degree in sociology from Jilin University.
Research
My research interests include returns to education, educational inequality by social background, intergenerational income mobility, gender, and cross-country analysis.
The starting point of this project is that research on intergenerational socioeconomic persistence needs to resolutely shift the perspective away from ‘normative’ careers of ‘typical’ men to the actual Swedish population. We aim to broaden the perspective and redevelop concepts and theories to fit the experience of the entire population.
This program emphasizes the multidimensional character of inequality. We integrate the analysis of several central welfare dimensions and study how they cross-cut each other and co-evolve. Our approach is dynamic, following the development of e.g., economic resources, education, health and well-being across individual lives and generations.
