Feixuan Xu

Feixuan Xu is an Anthropologist and a PhD Candidate at City University of Hong Kong.

Her research interests lie in care and etiquette in trans-species sociality, and she is currently working on her doctoral thesis »Caring for the Silkworm: Multiple Knowledge in Practice«. This project explores how Chinese farmers, biologists and contemporary artists build a caring relationship with silkworms differently in everyday encounters, based on her multi-sited fieldwork in Guangxi, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Beijing.

She holds an MA in Socio-Cultural Anthropology from Durham University in 2015 and received the Fulbright-RGC Hong Kong Research Scholar Award for her study sojourn at New York University in 2020.
