For her Summer in the Field Fellowship, Si will conduct field interviews of politicians, community organizers, policy entrepreneurs, legal professionals and human resources representatives in two cities within Guangdong Province, China. She seeks to understand the impact of ending China’s one-child policy on gender inequality in employment in the world’s largest economy.
