Huey Shy Chau Author

Huey Shy Chau is Affiliated Researcher in the Economic Geography Group at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Her goal as a migration scholar and economic geographer is to explore how place and space matter, and how they are shaped when people, knowledge, and social and economic practices circulate. She is driven by the motivation to understand social processes and transformation in relation to socio-economic inequality through the lens of mobilities, migration and labour. What interests her most are the sites of struggles and negotiation around workers’ and migrants’ access to resources and social participation, freedom of movement, and the value of work.
