The paper argues for the necessity of incorporating family dynamics and queer interventions to enhance our understanding of the transition to adulthood, particularly in ways that disrupt and expand conventional Western paradigms.

I welcome your thoughts and feedback!

In this article, I uncover how Chinese queer female students refashion traditional adult milestones to align more closely with their queer identities as they navigate intergenerational relations and transnational mobility.

Glad to share my new publication in The Sociological Review: "Queer milestones: Intergenerational relations and youth transitions of Chinese queer female students residing overseas" (open access). doi.org/10.1177/0038...
