My teaching is grounded in a commitment to inclusive, student-centred learning that empowers students to engage critically with questions of inequality, care, and social life. I design and deliver teaching that reflects my research interests in childhood, family, gender, and education, while encouraging students to develop their own sociological imagination and methodological rigour.

At the University of Oxford, I have served as an Assistant Departmental Lecturer / Teaching Fellow in Global and Area Studies since 2023. In this role, I designed and delivered Qualitative Research Methodology seminars to first-year MPhil students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, covering topics such as interviewing, ethnography, discourse analysis, archival research, and fieldwork ethics. I also teach Politics, Society, and Culture of China lectures and seminars to postgraduate students. In addition, I serve as a tutor role for undergraduate and postgraduate students, tutoring their essays and dissertation projects.

Beyond Oxford, I have taught in a range of international settings. At Shanghai Jiao Tong University, I taught on the English-medium summer course Gender in Development and Education, working with over 100 students from diverse disciplinary, cultural, and national backgrounds. The course required careful planning to ensure accessibility across different academic levels and cultural contexts. To support this, I incorporated multimodal materials, structured guided discussions, and digital tools such as anonymous polling platforms (e.g., Slido), interactive boards, and asynchronous participation options. These experiences deepened my ability to adapt pedagogical content and delivery to meet students where they are, intellectually, culturally, and emotionally.

I have also delivered undergraduate lectures in Childhood Studies at the University of Suffolk, and postgraduate sessions on Qualitative Research Methods at Beijing Normal University. In all these settings, I aim to create reflective and participatory learning environments where students feel confident exploring complex social issues and connecting theory to lived experience.

My teaching is informed by ongoing curriculum innovation. I am currently co-authoring a paper on inclusive and innovative pedagogy in sociology classrooms, which is under minor revision at Teaching Sociology.

I view teaching as a core part of my academic practice, one that requires not only subject expertise but also empathy and care.
