Profile of man

Philip Kelly is an economic geographer at York University. He was born and raised in the United Kingdom and was educated at Oxford, McGill and UBC. Before coming to York in 2000, he was Assistant Professor of Southeast Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore. His research and teaching focus on issues of global development, economic inequality, labour and migration. He has a longstanding commitment to research in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, and has also worked extensively on immigration issues in Canada. His current research focuses on how transnational ties forged by migration between Canada and the Philippines foster alternative economic and political practices in both places. Another project is examining the work of migrant labourers in global fishing fleets. He has held various administrative roles at York, including Director of the York Centre for Asian Research, Chair of the Department of Geography, and Associate Dean and Interim Dean at the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change.
