Professor of Global Health at Duke Kunshan University
My research examines aging related social policies and life experiences in the Global North and the Global South and their interconnectedness. My macro-level research explores the role of political economy frameworks and ideologies in shaping social policies for the elderly in different polities. My micro-level research takes a qualitative approach to understand the lived experiences of the elderly and the caregivers, with a strong emphasis on social inequities, intersectionality, and individual agency among the marginalized.
