研究方向与社会贡献  （Research direction and social contribution)

费玎博士是一位跨学科学者，研究领域涵盖国际发展、基础设施规划、移民与劳工研究以及经济地理等多个方向。她致力于探索在日益多极化的世界格局下，国家、企业和个人等不同主体如何跨越国界塑造发展进程，又如何在这过程中受到影响并作出回应。以中非/非中关系为主要研究对象，她试图理解和解释源自中国发展经验的理念与制度如何跨越国界，在不同非洲情境中被传播、调整和重构，并进一步影响当地的产业政策、基础设施治理、劳资关系与城市转型。通过这些研究，她希望推动一种具有批判性视野、并对全球发展动态保持敏锐关切的规划研究，将不断涌现的发展参与者、人的能动性以及结构性不平等置于研究的核心位置。在地缘政治格局持续演变、发展前景愈加不确定的背景下，她也希望这些研究能够为政策制定、规划实践和公众理解提供新的视角与启示。她的相关研究成果曾发表在Urban Studies、International Journal of Urban and Regional Research、World Development、Third World Quarterly、Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies、Geoforum、Environment and Planning A&D、The China Quarterly、Journal of Contemporary China等学术期刊。

Dr. Fei is an interdisciplinary scholar working at the intersections of international development, infrastructure planning, migration and labor studies, and economic geography. Her research explores how transnational actors, particularly states, firms, and individuals, shape and experience development in an increasingly multipolar world. Focusing on Africa-China/China-Africa relations, her work traces how ideas and institutions drawn from China’s development experience travel and are reworked in different African contexts, and how these processes influence industrial policy, infrastructure governance, labor regimes, and urban transformation. Through this work, she seeks to advance a critical and globally attuned planning scholarship that foregrounds emergent actors, human agency, and structural inequality, while informing more responsive policies, practices, and public understandings in an era of geopolitical and developmental uncertainty. Her work has been published in major journals across urban studies (e.g., Urban Studies, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research), development studies (e.g., World Development, Third World Quarterly), migration studies (e.g., Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies), geography (e.g., Geoforum, Environment and Planning A&D), and China studies (e.g., The China Quarterly, Journal of Contemporary China).

与IACP的关系（Relationship with IACP）

费玎博士是IACP的新成员。今年夏天，她首次参加了在西安举行的IACP年会，也借此机会更加深入地了解了中国规划学界许多富有思想启发、又扎根实践的研究，收获颇丰。年会期间她作为特邀嘉宾，参与了青年学者写作工作坊的小组讨论分享研究经验。她期待未来能够与IACP及其成员开展更多交流与合作。

Dr. Fei is a new member of IACP. She attended her first IACP conference in Xi’an this summer and greatly appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the intellectually stimulating and practice-grounded work being carried out across the Chinese planning community. During the conference, she served as an invited discussant at the Writing Workshop for Junior Scholars, engaging in in-depth discussions and exchanges with participants. She looks forward to continued exchange and engagement with IACP and its members in the years ahead.
