Biography

Han Tao is a postdoctoral researcher focusing on social anthropology, having completed his PhD at the University of Sussex in 2021. His doctoral research centered on queer intimacies, parenting, and family-making in urban China. His recent monograph, "Queering Kinship: Non-heterosexual Couples, Parents, Families in Guangdong, China" (2024), explores the experiences of queer individuals as they navigate kinship relations, biological connections, cultural norms, and state legislation. In addition to his primary research, he examines the implications of assisted reproductive technologies within the contexts of parenthood and sexuality alongside transnational markets and social stratification. From February 2022 to July 2024, Tao was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen, working on the project titled "Moving Data, Moving People," where he investigated financial challenges faced by micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in Southern China. His research interests encompass kinship, sexuality, migration, data, and technology.
