My name is Imogen Brown and I am a student editor from the United States. I am a freshman at Rice University planning on studying Women's, Gender and Sexuality studies. I am interested in film, theology, medical humanities, and music history, specifically in East Coast punk, as well as the Third Wave feminist movements of the 1990s.

This semester, I'm considering editing an article on the missing women of China, and an article on China's one child policy.

Missing women of China: I have been fascinated with the missing women phenomenon ever since reading Amartya Sen’s article “100 Million Women are Missing” for PJHC last semester. I wanted to focus on China specifically, due to the causatory relationship between the One Child Policy and the missing women phenomenon.
