'Queer/ing China': Theorizing Chinese genders and sexualities through a transnational lens (2022)
Working Paper

In this viewpoint essay, using ‘queer/ing China’ as a heuristic, we explore ‘queerness’ and ‘Chineseness’ through an intersectional approach that is attuned to the encounters, syntheses and dissonances of local, transnational and global queer and fem...

Concurrent mapping of brain ontogeny and phylogeny within a common connectivity space (2022)
Working Paper

Developmental and evolutionary effects on brain organisation are complex, yet linked, as evidenced by the striking correspondence in cortical expansion changes. However, it is still not possible to study concurrently the ontogeny and phylogeny of cor... Read More about Concurrent mapping of brain ontogeny and phylogeny within a common connectivity space.
