I am a cultural anthropologist and educator living on unceded Coast Salish Territories also known as Vancouver, BC.
My research focuses on youths' experiences of migration and long-term family separation after having a parent initially come to Canada to work. Through ethnographic storytelling and visual methods, this research explores the everyday forms of paid and unpaid labour youths perform to hold their families together through precarious, adverse, and hopeful times. You can find me teaching at Simon Fraser University and University of the Fraser Valley, writing as a contributing editor and section editor at Cultural Anthropology, and tweeting @jennyshaw011 @culanth #anthrotwitter. |
