• Biography/ Background

  In 2010 Dr. Yan Tan was awarded an Australian Research Council (ARC) Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship for the 5-year Discovery project ‘Climate change and migration in China: Theoretical, empirical and policy dimensions’ (DP110105522). Since Jan. 2011 Tan has been employed at the University of Adelaide, first as an ARC QEII Fellow (2011–15), and currently as an Associate Professor. Tan is a lead Chief Investigator on a major research project, entitled ‘Transnationalism and diaspora: Enhancing demography’s contribution to migration and development’, recently funded by the ARC under its Discovery program for 4 years (2017–20) (DP170101726).

  Tan’s research falls within the field of population and environmental studies, with a focus on migration. The impacts of climate change (or of environmental change, broadly defined) on migration have been a core feature over the last five years. This work has focused particularly on China and Australia. Her current project aims to incorporate diaspora, circular migration and transnational linkages into demographic concepts of population and migration. It studies four countries (Australia, China, Indonesia and Singapore) to understand the characteristics of diasporas, their international linkages and their potential for enhancing development in origin countries. Four salient elements in Tan’s migration research are:

   ·    Attempt to reconceptualise national population and migration in accordance with transnationalist ideas, and use traditional demographic data with integrated quantitative and qualitative research to analyse the diaspora–migration–development nexus. This is expected to generate policy advice on how to maximise the economic and non-economic potential of diaspora.

   ·    A sustained effort to understand driving factors and processes across the major types of human mobility (migration, displacement), highlighting cumulative impacts of migration on sending and receiving communities.

   ·    Work to advance international debates on migration theory, and methods to assess demographic, social, and climate/ecological vulnerability in the face of climate and other environmental impacts—especially for the most disadvantaged. Tan has a strong interest in the interplay of environmental, demographic, economic, social, and institutional factors in migration, adaptation, resettlement, and development.

   ·    Sophisticated analysis of the consequences of migration and environmental change, for affected communities and for individuals. Tan seeks critical depth concerning this relationship, and translation into workable policy to reduce vulnerability and promote sustainable urbanisation and rural development.

  Recent projects that Tan has led or heavily involved include studies into: ‘Impact of climate change on disadvantaged groups—issues and interventions’, ‘Extreme heat and climate change adaptation in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities’, and ‘Vulnerable communities (including human health) research network’, funded by Australia’s National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF); ‘Climate change and migration in Asia and the Pacific’, funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB); ‘Institutional dimensions of climate change and migration in China’ and ‘Internal migration and social security issues in urban China’ , funded by the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia (ASSA); Australia’s temporary and skilled migration programs; long-term physical implications of net overseas migration; allied mental health workforce challenges; and how the vocational education sector responds to future skills demand and supply. 

  Since 2006 she has conducted consulting work for the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), and the ADB on the issues and strategies related to human displacement and resettlement caused by development projects and climate (environmental) change. In addition to her research interests, she is on the editorial board for the Journal of Mountain Science and Austin Environmental Sciences. She has served as Chairperson of International Steering Committee (ISC) of the Population-Environment Research Network (PERN), a scientific panel of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) and a sustained partner of Future Earth.
