The Many Faces of Hong Kong:
Her Expat Stories 

Curious about expat life? Hong Kong draws people from every corner of the globe, each with a unique story. There is also an increasing movement of highly skilled migrants from other parts of Asia, such as South Asia.  And what about the women expats? How do they manage personal life with work, while navigating cultural expectations and pursuing their dream?

Her Expat Story 

This ethnography of South Asian women expatriates in Hong Kong attempts to understand the intersectionality and conditionality of privilege. 

We explore the journeys and stories of professional women of South Asian heritage who travel to Hong Kong for work, defying the representations of expats as white and male.
