Yun Zhou received her PhD in Sociology from Harvard University.  She is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Brown University\u2019s Population Studies and Training Center.  Her research examines social inequality through the lens of gender, marriage, family, and reproduction.  Her most recent work on China\u2019s universal two-child policy, \u201cThe Dual Demands: Gender Equity and Fertility Intentions after the One-Child Policy,\u201d was just published in the Journal of Contemporary China.  Dr. Zhou also writes extensively for popular audiences on the topics of gender inequality, sexual violence, and reproductive rights in China.  Her work has been featured in Tengxun Dajia, Pengpai, Renwu, The South China Morning Post, and Boston Metro, among other outlets.  She has also served as a volunteer with the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center since 2016.  You can follow her at @yunjulietzhou.
