Lynn Yu Ling Ng is a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Politics, Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, at York University. She previously obtained a PhD in Political Science from the University of Victoria. Her current project, “Care for All is Care that Pulls Us Through,” constructs a transnational and relational framework for care ethics and practice that prioritizes migrant care workers’ stories and voices. Her research analyzes the devaluation of care work(ers) from feminist political economy and racial capitalism perspectives that situate the broader structural injustices of gendered and racialized labor immigration policies. She has written for academic journals including The Journal of Aging and Social Change, Human Rights in the Global South, Surveillance and Society, Migration, Mobility, & Displacement, and Interface: a journal for and about social movements as well as for scholar-activist collectives such as Asian Research Institute, Carework Network, Lausan Collective, and Taiwan Insight among others. At YCAR, she hopes to explore issues of ethical responsibility and response in research encounters that inquire into the power dynamics of knowledge production, i.e. “In what fields does fieldwork occur?”
