Kedi Zhao

Kedi Zhao is a PhD candidate at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto. Rooting his work in the communities of immigrants and migrants, he adopts the lenses of decolonization and social justice in his research to understand and tackle challenges faced by these communities. For example, his research interests include immigrants’ and migrants’ cultural adaptation, anti-Asian racism, and health inequity. He has also been working with different communities of immigrants and migrants over the past seven years. Particularly, he has been advocating social justice for international students  and promoting their well-being in Canadian society. In his prospective role as a member of the Board of Directors, he hopes to contribute to CCNCTO through his academic background and improve the well-being of Chinese communities through his research.
