Xiao Han

Xiao Han is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Buddhist Studies at the

Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM), where her research

focuses on Chinese immigrant Buddhist communities in Canada

and the intersection of digital religion and technology.


She is also a research fellow at the Centre for International Governance

Innovation (CiGI) and serves on the board of Sakyadhita Canada. Xiao is deeply committed to amplifying Chinese and Asian Buddhist voices in Canada, as she embodies multiple minority identities: she is a visible ethnic minority (Chinese), a sexual minority (lesbian), a recent immigrant to Canada (without the right

to vote), and a devoted Buddhist practitioner.
