# Qian Zhang Source: https://hello.cv/qianzhang ## About I earned a PhD in human geography from Stockholm University and my research seeks critical geographic understanding of inequalities and sustainabilities. My PhD thesis used a political ecology approach to critically explore the complex politics, spatial tensions and interactions between environmental change, grassland use and policy interventions in a pastoral context of Northern China. During and after the dotoral education, I have further developed my core research inquiries on and at the intersection of several themes including labour migration, climate migration, rural/agrarian transformation, and recently digital geographies and the gig economy. My studies have mainly focused on Sweden and China. ## Work ### Researcher | Stockholm University ## Publications ### Climate change adaptation and digitalization: a critical review towards equal and just agricultural transformations Climate and Development journal-article ### Strategic silences for normative work: Inclusions and exclusions of migrant labour in policy foregrounding of the Swedish gig economy Geoforum journal-article ### The globalization-migration nexus across China’s internal and international human movements book-chapter ### Contextualizing the rural in digital studies: A computational literature review of rural-digital relations Technology in Society journal-article ### Understanding the spatiality of the rural poor's livelihoods in Northeast China: Geographical context, location and urban hierarchy Applied Geography journal-article ### Unpacking spatial tensions: An interdisciplinary analysis of large-scale solar farm effects in drylands preprint ### Re-visiting the ‘black box’ of migration: state-intermediary co-production of regulatory spaces of labour migration Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies journal-article ### Centering social-technical relations in studying platform urbanism: intersectionality for just futures in European cities Urban Transformations journal-article ### Channelling through bureaucracy: How migration intermediaries and state actors (re)shape Chinese migration to the Swedish restaurant industry Geoforum journal-article ### Careers Delivered from the Kitchen?
