Xiaoxia Huang

Welcome!

I’m Xiaoxia Huang, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at Syracuse University. My research focuses on gender and bureaucracy in East Asia, with a particular emphasis on China.

In my dissertation, I investigate gender representation in the Chinese civil service and the resulting backlash using original datasets. My other ongoing projects explore topics such as gender quotas and representation in Chinese leadership positions, the allocation of public sector jobs in China, and local elections in Japan.

Outside of my academic work, I enjoy cooking and hiking, and I hike weekly.
