Hof, Helena

Helena Hof currently works as a Research Associate (Ph.D.) at the Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies, Waseda University. Helena is a migration scholar with training in qualitative sociology. Her research lies on the nexus of youth migration, migration to global cities, and the integration of foreign professionals in globalising workplaces. She is also interested in how gender, ethnicity and generation shape migratory trajectories and critically examines the racial connotations prevalent in research on expatriates and 'skilled' migration. Her most recent publication is '‘Worklife Pathways’ to Singapore and Japan: Gender and Racial Dynamics in Europeans’ Mobility to Asia,' published in Social Science Japan Journal.
