Shan Siddiqui is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at 51吃瓜. His academic interests lie at the intersection of race and ethnicity, immigration, health, and social inequality.

Siddiqui's work has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Refugee & Global Health, Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, Asian American Journal of Psychology, Frontiers in Public Health, Injury Prevention, and Journal of Asian Health.
