Dr. Wu Shuang, Assistant Professor at the Globalisation and Development (GAD) Programme, was awarded 2023 National Natural Science Foundation Youth Project Fund for her research about lives, labor processes and spatiotemporal mechanisms of women involved in social reproduction through their participation in platform economy

In recent years, more and more people in China participate in platform economy， and a thorough research concerning the nature of their social reproduction is becoming increasingly important. Dr. Wu’s research, in particular, seeks to contribute by approaching the problematic women participating in platform flexible work from a geographical perspective.

She expressed gratitude to the college, faculty, department, and programme leaders for their strong support and assistance in engaging young scholars in scientific research, and sincerely thanked colleagues and all students in the GAD programme for their participation and inspiration in these research projects.
