《剑桥一年：关于爱与拥抱的自我民族志》

One Year in Cambridge: An Autoethnography about Love, Hugging and Feminism

Blurring the boundaries between life-writing and academic research, the book traces my transformative year at Cambridge, following a woman’s journey of empowerment through reconnection with the body and the rediscovery of feeling. It explores how love, friendship, and everyday acts—such as hugging—can become sites of feminist inquiry and decolonial reflection.

Rooted in my MPhil research at the Faculty of Education, the work develops what I call a “pedagogy of hugging”—an embodied and affective approach to knowledge-making that challenges traditional divisions between the personal and the scholarly. The book also marks the beginning of my broader doctoral research on decolonising education through embodied everyday practices, which I continue at Murray Edwards College as a Cambridge Trust International Scholar.
