My doctoral dissertation will explore digital and technology-facilitated voyeurism (tou pai) among Chinese men attracted to men, adopting a phenomenological approach and critical theoretical framework.
​
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).
