Junjia Ye is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at MMG. She is currently with the GLOBALDIVERCITIES project that examines superdiversity in public spaces in a neighborhood in Singapore.  She received her PhD in Geography at the University of British Columbia, with her dissertation entitled Reproducing Class in a Global Labour Force: The Case of Singapore’s Division of Labour. Her research interests are located at the intersections of economic geography, migration theory, the social construction of gender and feminist analyses of the labour market. She has previously lectured at UBC as well as conducted an undergraduate summer exchange course between UBC and the National University of Singapore on transnationalism and migration.
