Dr. Gaoheng Zhang Launches New Website on “Cultural Mobilities between Italy and China”



Dr. Gaoheng Zhang has recently launched a website for visitors interested in the interplay of culture and mobility between Chinese and Italian populations.

Using the Chinese formulation 衣食住行 (clothing, food, residence, mobility)—the necessities of human existence—as an organizing principle, he and his research group offer case studies of cultural mobilities set in various North American, Asian, and European cities.

This work was supported by the SSHRC Insight Development Grants (2018-2020), The Arts Undergraduate Research Award, The International Work Learn Award, and Hampton Fund Research Grant – New Faculty Award, University of British Columbia.

The website is related to Dr. Gaoheng Zhang’s book titled Migration and the Media: Debating Chinese Migration to Italy, 1992-2012, University of Toronto Press, 2019. https://utorontopress.com/ca/migration-and-the-media-3
