Yujia Chen

I'm a DPhil student in Area Studies (China) at St Antony's College. Before starting my DPhil, I completed an MPhil in Global and Area Studies at the University of Oxford in 2026 and a BA in Korean Studies and International Business at Beijing Foreign Studies University in 2024. My master's research explored questions of belonging and aspirations for modernity among a new generation of Chinese migrants in Japan and South Korea.

My broader research interests include globalization and transnationalism, mobility, and Chinese diaspora, with a particular focus on transnational connections across East Asia.
