Short presentation
I am a teacher in gender studies on undergraduate and advanced level in areas such as reproduction and nation, postcolonial feminism, masculinity, and methods.
I defended my thesis Thai Surrogate Mothers’ Experiences of Transnational Commercial Surrogacy in 2022. My research is about commercial surrogacy and issues on assisted reproduction, embodiment, family and kinship, power, and global intimacies.
I am also a member of the MotherNet project
