Angela Man Xu
My research lies at the intersection of economic sociology, race, ethnicity and migration studies. I study the relational process of global market-making, and the transnational construction of identity and status inequalities, with an empirical focus on the transnational space connecting China and the Middle East. My work combines qualitative methods, including ethnography, interviews, and discourse analysis.
I am a PhD candidate in Sociology at University of Toronto. I earned a B.A. in Persian Language and Literature at Peking University, and a MA in Middle Eastern Studies at Lund University. My work is supported by a grant from the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange and appears in Current Sociology and the Routledge Handbook on Middle Eastern Diasporas.
