DPhil in Sociology

Supervisor: Professor Heather Hamill

I am a DPhil student in Sociology at Jesus College, University of Oxford. Prior to this, I obtained an MPhil in Sociology from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelor of Laws from Central South University.

My doctoral research centres on the dynamics of trust and distrust within the healthcare context in China. By exploring trust, I seek to understand how conflicts emerge in medical settings and how this understanding can contribute to reducing violence in hospitals.

Research Interests: Trust, medical sociology, law and society 

Previous Education: LLB Central South University; MPhil in Sociology, University of Cambridge
