Chenchen Zhang

Kort præsentation

Chenchen Zhang's areas of research are located at the intersection between critical citizenship studies, political geography, and continental political thought. More specifically, she is interested in the spatial dimensions of political membership such as territory, borders and mobility. Her doctoral dissertation, defended in February 2014, looked at the ways in which the interrelations between territory, mobility and citizenship have been transformed in the context of European integration. Her current DFF-funded project is focused on the rescaling of social citizenship resulted from processes of border reformation in the EU and China. She also works on human rights and humanitarian government in relation to the politics of border and migration.
