Hello, I’m Sylvia Ang 汪诗薇,
I am based on the unceded lands of Naarm/Birraranga (Melbourne). I love trees, animals and my two Kelpie x dogs Keisha and Mandy. I am passionate about equity and diversity – values that are reflected in my research and teaching.
I tweet @sylviaswang and can be contacted at sylvia.ang@monash.edu. Links to my work (e.g. Google Scholar, ResearchGate) are provided below.
Research: My research is focused on the sociology of migration, ethnic relations and social inequalities. My work engages several other disciplines including anthropology, gender studies, media studies and Asian studies. I am interested in how migrants’ and hosts’ subjectivities are shaped by immigration and superdiversity, and how difference and inequalities are produced and experienced. I am open to various research methods and have used interviews, the life-mapping technique, ethnography and digital ethnography.
Teaching: My success as an academic is built on my considerable teaching experience. I have been teaching since 2011 and is experienced in delivering undergraduate and postgraduate units. My teaching aims to be engaging and effective through emphasizing active and collaborative learning.
