Amrita Hari

Amrita Hari is an Assistant Professor at Carleton University's Department of Geography and Environmental Studies within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Her research examines global migrations through critical lenses of gender, race, and citizenship, with specific focus on transnational labor, refugee experiences, and intersectional identity formation in neoliberal policy contexts.

Hari's work explores how migration policies reproduce structural inequalities while documenting migrant resistance strategies. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges sociology, geography, and gender studies to analyze reconfigurations of productive/reproductive labor, temporary migration systems, and diasporic communities.

Publications over the past three years demonstrate consistent focus on Canadian immigration frameworks with comparative analyses of Chinese, Afghan, and Filipino migrant experiences. Major themes include pandemic-era policy gaps, media representations of foreign workers, skilled immigrant career transitions, and methodological innovations in participatory action research.
