Research title: An Ethnographic Inquiry into the Experiences of Inclusion in Chinese Primary Schools: From An Intersectional Lens
Research summary
I am interested in inclusive education within the Chinese context. Specifically, I primarily focus on the inclusive experiences of primary school children in China from an intersectional lens. My research aims to explore children's daily school experiences and understand how social identities such as gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, and disability status shape their experiences of inclusion and exclusion in primary school settings. By analysing the perspectives of both students and teachers, I seek to identify practical insights for enhancing inclusive education practices in China.
