Dr Qiuyang Chen

I am a social and gender historian specialising in modern and contemporary China. My research is situated at the intersection of gender history, financial history, and anthropology. In particular, I examine the relationship between women's credit activities and the local economy to understand China's economic transformation in the 1980s and 90s, with the historical methods such as oral history, historical anthropology and digital humanities.

Broadly, I'm keen to investigate the interplay between gender norm and credit provision in East Asia's economic history from a bottom-up approach.
