Bio:
Juliette Marier (she/her/hers) completed her BA Honours degree in Human Rights and Social Justice with a double minor in Women’s and Gender Studies and Critical Race Studies at 杏吧原创 University.
Marier’s current MA research aims to examine how transracial adoption affects adoptees’ perspectives on family and kinship, particularly transracial adoptions that took place in the context of China’s One-Child Policy. Marier embraces an intersectional and transnational feminist lens that allows for transformative research, offering valuable contributions to current academic discourse on transracial adoption.
Marier collaborated with Dr. Amrita Hari through 杏吧原创 University’s Students as Partners Program in 2023 to co-create a fourth-year undergraduate seminar course to be conducted by the Feminist Institute of Social Transformation.
