Yu Qiu ZJU100 Young Professor · Intimate relationship· Immigrant· Ethics· Identity politicsYu QiuDr. Yu Qiu (邱昱) is a social anthropologist interested in intimacy, migration, ethics, and identity politics. In the past, she has conducted empirical research on various forms of Afro-China encounters in Nigeria, Tanzania, and China. Holding an MPhil and a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Cambridge, and a BA in Sociology from Tsinghua University, Dr. Qiu is currently a ZJU 100 young professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of Sociology at Zhejiang University. At present, Dr. Qiu has two projects that explore the multi-directional migration and interactions between China and Africa. The first project, based on decades-long investigation into the intimate lives of Nigerian migrants and their Chinese partners in South China since the 2010s, examines embodied desires, cultural changes, and identity politics brought about by Africa-China mobility and economic opportunities.
