Eva Baudler

Eva Baudler is a PhD student in history focusing on late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century Chinese migration to Germany and its former colonies, with particular interest in the Pacific world and the West Coast of the United States. Her research explores the transnational dimensions of anti-Chinese sentiment, the microhistories of migrant laborers, and the roles sojourners played in subverting and contributing to settler colonialism. More recently, she has worked on the history of Chinese migration to Samoa between the 1870s and 1910s and the experiences of aging among Chinese immigrants to the US. 

Eva is a Graduate Student Co-Chair of the Global Studies in Migration and Diaspora Workshop. Prior to graduate school, she worked as a K-12 teacher and a dementia caregiver.
