My doctoral dissertation will explore digital voyeurism (toupai 偷拍) among Chinese men attracted to men, adopting a subcultural approach and reflexive thematic analysis.
I have conducted and published a pilot study on this particular topic in The Journal of Sex Research (Liu, 2023).
My Master's thesis explored public opinions of sexual harassment in mainland China and the United States, particularly focusing on Chinese college students pursuing higher education in China and abroad.
A research article based on the thesis has been published in Asian Journal of Criminology (Liu & Nalla, 2023).
