Hanzhi Hu, D.Phil, Oxon

I obtained doctorate in sociology from University of Oxford in 2022.

I joined the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences as a Research Fellow in 2023.

Research
Substantively, I am interested in demographic behaviours, i.e., intimate union formation and fertility, and how (dis)advantages, inequality and ideologies (gender, sexuality and identity) are produced and reproduced during the process.

Methodologically, I am interested in applying and developing quantitative methods to various data sources to answer empirical questions.​

Community Services
