Gregory Gan was born in Moscow, in the former Soviet Union, in 1984. When he was nine years old, his family relocated to France, and two years later, to Canada, where he grew up. Gregory has trained in anthropology at The University of British Columbia (PhD, 2019), Memorial University of Newfoundland (MA, 2010), and University of Toronto (HBA, 2006). His research interests in anthropology include intellectual history, transnational migration, autoethnography, and material culture. He has also trained as a filmmaker (Ryerson University, 2007; SoundImageCulture, 2010), having completed two feature-length ethnographic films, one of which was nominated for Best Canadian Documentary (Hot Docs International Documentary Film Festival, 2015), as well as a prize-winning interactive installation on Russian transnational migration titled Still Life with a Suitcase (2019). Gregory lives between Toronto, Canada and Berlin, Germany.
