Biography
Day Wong joined the Department of Sociology at HKBU in 2006. Her research interests include constructions of (trans)gender and (a)sexual identities, practices of intimacy, politics of knowledge, and queer/feminist movements. Influenced by queer theory and feminist scholarship, her works seek to capture the meaning-making processes and lived experiences of individuals, and demonstrate the complex ways in which gender order and heteronormativity are reproduced, destabilized, transformed, and challenged. Apart from focusing on how social identities such as gender, sexual orientation, class, and age are interconnected, her research explores the relationships between gender/sexuality and the broader processes such as globalization, neo-liberalization, urban transformation, and changing forms of governmentality. She has extensive experience in collaborating with NGOs and believes in the importance of dialogue and knowledge sharing.
