Scarlett’s work is a qualitative study using participant observation and in-depth interviews to examine intimate relationships of queer Chinese women migrants who were born under China’s one-child policy and are currently living in the UK. Queer represents the women migrants who self-identify themselves as having non-normative gender and/or sexual identities, desires, and practices. The research specifically examines the role of sexuality as an important dimension in exploring this specific generation of women migrants’ intimate relationships, intergenerational negotiation, (unconventional) family formation, and lived experiences, citizenship rights in two societies, China and the UK.
