Juan Zhang's conference

Juan Zhang is Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of Bristol.

Prior to Bristol, Juan Zhang held research and teaching positions at the University of Queensland (Australia), University of New England (Australia), and the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore (NUS).

Juan Zhang’s research explores borders and transnational mobilities in various forms – from memories and livelihoods at the margins of China and Vietnam, to the global flows of labour and capital in and out of Asian casino spaces; from transnational marriages and family life to Asian migrant im/mobilities under differentiated pandemic governance. 

Broadly speaking, Juan’s research engages with three main themes: Asian Borderlands, Migrant Im/mobilities & Transnationalism, Transnational Cultural Politics & China.

Her co-edited open-access book The Art of Neighbouring: Making Relations Across China's Borders (2017, University of Amsterdam Press) presents the different ways in which borderland communities at national peripheries deploy the "art of neighbouring" and build new forms of solidarity and collaboration.

Juan ZHANG participe au Programme Professeurs invités de l’EHESS, sur proposition d'Anne-Christine Trémon (CCJ-CECMC).
