Rihan Yeh specializes in linguistic sociocultural anthropology with a particular focus on the effects of US-Mexico border public life in Tijuana, Baja California. His work, including the book 'Passing: Publics Mexican Border City', analyzes various texts and interactions to reveal how Mexican senses of self and collectivity take shape amidst the complex dynamics of border enforcement and social identity. Currently, he is engaged in research on the visual exchanges at the border and exploring new interests in urban transborder mobilities. His publications cover a wide range of topics within this field, including the implications of citizenship, public demonstrations, and ethnographic evidence from Tijuana's daily life, contributing to ongoing discussions regarding immigration, Latin American citizenship, and transnational borders.
