Dr. Winnie Lem is a Professor in the Department of International Development Studies and Gender and Social Justice program at Trent University. Her research focuses on migration, transnationalism, citizenship, and political economy with a regional emphasis on Europe and Asia. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto.
Her academic work spans migration studies, urbanization, gender, and rural politics. Notable contributions include analyses of Chinese migrant entrepreneurs in France, militant populism in contemporary France, and the dialectics of migration. Lem has co-edited several volumes on migration and capitalism, including Migration Temporalities and Capitalism (2018) and Confronting Capital (2012).
Lem teaches courses on global inequality, migration, and development studies. She actively contributes to interdisciplinary research through collaborations with institutions like the Canadian Anthropology Society. Her work often bridges anthropological theory with critical political economy frameworks, examining how global capitalism shapes migrant experiences and social structures.
Her recent scholarship (2020) contextualizes the Gilets Jaunes movement within broader populist trends in France, while earlier work (2001–2009) explored labor dynamics in rural France and transnational migrant economies. Lem’s research emphasizes the intersection of class, gender, and ethnicity in migration narratives.
