Hannah’s research interests lie in the empirical studies and theorization of transnational mobility of families, international students, and migrant teachers, sociology of Asia’s literacy, and teacher identity work in an “East-meets-West” curriculum. Currently, she is exploring the transnational aspirations of middle-class and refugee-background parents on their children’s education and well-being in Asia and Australia. One key area is the investigation around developing ethical engagement with global shifts and relations in education.
