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.
