Rate My Professor Lan Anh Hoang

Hoang's research has since centered on transnational labour migration, with a particular emphasis on Vietnam-origin migrants. Her work investigates debt and unfreedoms in migration processes, gender identities and agency in migration decision-making, the impacts of remittances on family dynamics, left-behind children, masculinities in transnational families, and migrant networks in destinations like Taiwan and Russia. Recent projects explore mobilities along the Vietnam-Russia and Vietnam-Australia corridors, including digital bordering, middle-class aspirations, post-pandemic immobilities, shadow economies, post-Soviet migration regimes, and flexible moralities amid uncertainty. She authored Vietnamese Migrants in Russia: Mobility in Times of Uncertainty (Amsterdam University Press, 2020) and co-edited Transnational Labour Migration, Remittances, and the Changing Family in Asia (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015) and Money and Moralities in Contemporary Asia (Amsterdam University Press, 2019). Key articles include 'Sustaining Families across Transnational Spaces: Vietnamese Migrant Parents and their Left-Behind Children' (Global Networks, 2012), 'Moral Dilemmas of Transnational Migration: Vietnamese Women in Taiwan' (Gender & Society, 2016), 'Debt and (Un)Freedoms: The Case of Transnational Labour Migration from Vietnam' (Geoforum, 2020), and 'Governmentality in Asian Migration Regimes: Labour Migration from Vietnam to Taiwan' (Population, Space and Place, 2016). Her publications appear in leading journals such as Ethnic and Racial Studies, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, and Asian Studies Review, contributing to understandings of migration governance, gender, and social change in Asia.
