Siqi Xiao is a Ph.D. student of sociology at the University of British Columbia. Her research interests center around gender, sexuality, culture, and activism.

Taking an intersectional approach, her work examines how gender, sexuality, education, race/ethnicity, immigration status, and culture intertwine in shaping individuals’  intimate relationships and social inequalities.

Her current research examines feminist activism (e.g., #metoo) in China and how gender-based and sexual violence maintains multiple inequalities at interpersonal, institutional, and nation-state levels.
