معرفی
Dr. Huamei Han is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University. Her research focuses on language learning, multilingualism, and socioeconomic inclusion of marginalized groups, particularly in contexts of globalization. She investigates intersections between Applied Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Anthropology, and Migration Studies, with a focus on immigrant communities in Canada and trade migration between China and Africa since 2009.
Key research areas include: (1) Grassroots multilingualism in China-Africa trade hubs like Namibia and South Africa, (2) Intra-group dynamics among Chinese communities in Canada, and (3) Language practices in minority religious institutions. Her work often employs ethnographic methods to examine identity formation, settlement challenges, and the role of religion in immigrant integration.
Dr. Han has conducted extensive fieldwork since 2007, producing studies that bridge linguistic analysis with sociocultural contexts. Her collaborative multi-year project on Chinese-Canadian community relations explores social inclusion/exclusion mechanisms through a linguistic lens. She maintains active service roles in academic and community settings.
