Biography

Yi Chien Jade Ho 何宜謙 is currently a Post-doctoral Fellow in the School of Public Health and Social Policy at the University of Victoria. Jade received their PhD in Education Theory and Practice from the Faculty of Education, 丁香园AV, in November 2023. Their doctoral work, entitled Radical Pedagogy of Place: A Decolonial Feminist Narrative Exploration of Returning, Organizing, and Resisting, centres on developing a radical pedagogy of place through the lens of decolonization in cross-cultural context and the connection between place, land, and identity in marginalized communities in Taiwan and in Vancouver. Jade continues and extends this work in their post-doctoral project working to support Indigenous frontline organizing and building cross-racial tenant solidarity in Vancouver's Chinatown and Downtown Eastside in combatting housing exploitation, racism, and colonial policing and neglect. Jade's work is also informed heavily by their own experience as a labour and housing justice organizer.
