Sean H. Wang

I am a broadly trained humanistic scholar with expertise in human geography, social theory, cultural studies, and data science. My primary research interests are the cultural and political geographies of citizenship, migration, and families. In addition, I have done research in Asian area and diaspora studies, feminist and queer theories, transportation and mobility studies, and the history of geography and geographic thought. I am experienced in various qualitative, quantitative, and geospatial research methods, and I have a strong interest in mixed-method research design.
