NI ANNI
Ph. D. (Sociology)
Research Interest: Gender and migration, Motherhood, China
I am a current PhD student in Sociology at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, National University of Singapore. Prior to my Phd study, I acquired my Bachelors'deree in Economic Sociology at the Chinese University of Finance and Economics, and later my Master'degree in Gender Studies from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Before joining NUS, my research interests are about gender and emotional labor with a particular focus on nannies working in China. Right now, I am interested in how middle-class families in China are responding to a precarious global world with a perspective of gender, motherhood and migration
