Biographies of speakers

■Gracia Liu-Farrer

Gracia Liu-Farrer (Ph.D Sociology, University of Chicago) is Professor at the Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies, and Director of Institute of Asian Migration at Waseda University, Japan. Her research examines immigration into Japan, transnational labor and student mobilities in East Asia as well as between Asia and Europe. Her research underscores the empirical and theoretical importance of Asian experiences in theorizing migration and mobilites. Her recent books include Handbook of Asian Migrations (with Brenda Yeoh, Routledge, 2018), Immigrant Japan: Mobility and Belonging in an Ethno-nationalist Society (Cornell University Press, 2020), Tangled Mobilities: Places, Affects, and Personhood across Social Spheres in Asian Migration (with Asuncion Fresnoza-Flot, Berghahn Books, 2022), and The Question of Skill in Cross-border Labour Mobilities (with Brenda Yeoh and Michele Baas, Taylor & Francis, 2023). She has published journal articles and book chapters on migrants ranging from Chinese students, Nepali restaurant workers to Syrian refugees.

■Helena Hof

Helena Hof is a Senior Research and Teaching Fellow in Social Science of Japan at the University of Zurich and a research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity. Her work lies at the nexus of mobility studies, the sociology of work, skilled migration, gender, ethnicity and race, and global cities and entrepreneurship. As a member of the collaborative research project “Qualification and Skill in the Migration Process of Foreign Workers in Asia” she currently examines foreign entrepreneurs’ social and professional incorporation in Japan and Singapore and holds guest researcher affiliations with Waseda's Institute of Asian Migrations in Tokyo, where she conducted her graduate training, and with the Asia Research Center at the National University of Singapore. Among her most recent publications are “Employment as an anchor: The prospects of emerging East Asian skilled migration regimes through the lens of migrants’ access to the labor market” (with Aimi Muranaka and Joohyun Justine Park, forthcoming in APMJ), “Migratory class-making in global Asian cities: the European mobile middle negotiating ambivalent privilege in Tokyo, Singapore, and Dubai” (with Jaafar Alloul, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies) and the book “The-EU-Migrant-Generation-in-Asia” (Bristol University Press).

■Hilary J. Holbrow

Hilary J. Holbrow is Assistant Professor of Japanese Politics and Society at Indiana University. A sociologist by training, her scholarship examines gender inequality, work and organizations, and immigration. She is an International Research Fellow at the Canon Institute for Global Studies in Tokyo, an Associate in Research at Harvard’s Reischauer Institute, and a member of the US-Japan Network for the Future. She is currently conducting survey, survey-experimental, and interview research to understand the sources of persistent gender inequality in Japan’s white-collar workplaces. In addition, her book manuscript on gender and ethnic inequality in Japanese white-collar workplaces explores how status hierarchies evolve in response to changing and economic and social conditions, and specifically whether Japanese women and immigrants will be able to achieve greater parity with Japanese men as Japan’s population declines. Her previous research has been published in The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences, International Migration Review, Work and Occupations, and the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
