Her current work focuses on sex education for school-aged children in contemporary China. In this project, Tong seeks to understand how educational efforts answer to and interact with social concerns and social changes. At the same time, she also examines how children experience different sex and gender messages, explicit or hidden.<\/p>\n<p>Tong is also interested in exploring engaged research methods that allow her to work with research participants collaboratively. In 2019, she finished a Photovoice project, learning from children how they identify and talk about sex and gender messages in a southern China village. Based on this project, she curated two exhibitions, one in the local reading room and one in an art museum.<\/p>\n<p>Before starting her PhD study, Tong worked as a qualitative researcher and project officer in public health institutes in Beijing, China. Her work experiences on sexual and reproductive health laid a foundation for her theoretical interest in governance, discourse, knowledge production, embodiment, subjectivity, and everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Tong holds a master\u2019s degree in Medical Anthropology &amp; Cross-Cultural Practice from Boston University School of Medicine. She obtained her bachelor\u2019s degree in Sociology at Shandong University in Jinan, China.<\/p>\n<h3>Awards &amp; Grants<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Overseas-Young-Chinese-Forum (OYCF)-Chow Award. $5000.
