Amy Liu (PhD Emory University; BA Smith College) is an associate professor in the Government Department and codirector of the Politics of Race and Ethnicity (PRE) Lab at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research and teaching focus on the intersection of ethnic politics, language politics, and migration politics. Prof. Liu’s first book Standardizing Diversity: The Political Economy of Language Regimes examines how the recognition of lingua francas can be conducive for economic growth – in Asia generally and in Southeast Asia specifically. Her second book The Language of Political Incorporation: Chinese Migrants in Europe looks at the linguistic networks of Chinese migrants and the implications for engagement with local authorities in Europe. She has a forthcoming Cambridge Elements monograph explaining the treatment of ethnic minorities in Southeast Asia. Prof. Liu is currently working on a new book project examining the diversity and representation of government cabinets. Her other works have appeared in journals such as British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Politics, Political Research Quarterly, and World Politics.
