Xinying Hu serves as a Term Lecturer in the Labour Studies Program at Simon Fraser University, joining as a sessional instructor in September 2011. She teaches courses including Labour in China, Politics of Labour in Canada, Labour Research for Social Change (LBST 202), and Equality and Inequality at Work (LBST 100), with active teaching scheduled through Spring 2026.
Her educational background includes:
- PhD in Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies from Simon Fraser University
- MA in Economics from Capital University of Economics and Business, Beijing
Dr. Hu's research centers on women's labor conditions within globalized economies, examining how migration patterns and neoliberal policies create precarious working conditions for marginalized groups. Her work critically analyzes trade union responses to labor exploitation, with particular focus on gendered dynamics in domestic work sectors across East Asia. She bridges theoretical frameworks from feminist political economy and critical migration studies to document labor struggles in both Canadian and Chinese contexts.
Her publication portfolio shows consistent thematic focus on structural inequalities in labor markets, with her 2011 monograph establishing foundational analysis of domestic workers' class formation under Chinese state capitalism. Research trends reveal deepening engagement with transnational labor solidarity movements and gendered impacts of precarious employment.
Dr. Hu actively contributes to curriculum development in labor studies, designing courses that connect classroom learning with contemporary workplace justice movements. Her teaching methodology emphasizes participatory action research approaches, preparing students to engage directly with labor advocacy organizations through community-based projects.
