[2][3] She currently holds the post of Senior Lecturer in Sociology, Culture and the Creative Industries at City, University of London[4] where she is also Associate Dean of equality and diversity for the School of Arts and Social Sciences.
[10] She is one of the key activists behind the #endthevirusofracism campaign that began in May 2020, and which formed into a London-based non-profit organisation focused on addressing racism against East and Southeast Asian people in the United Kingdom.
[12] In September 2020, Yeh was also one of many key activists behind the #BAMEover campaign by IncArts,[13] which called on the end of the use of BAME (Black, Asian, or other Minority Ethnic), as official terminology to describe people who were non-white.
[15] An example of this is the British Academy and Leverhulme Trust funded project titled ‘Becoming East and Southeast Asian: Race, Ethnicity and Youth Politics of Belonging’ for which Yeh is principal investigator.
[16] The project archives and examines the experiences of young people being racialised as East Asian in the United Kingdom, exploring their social spaces and their sense of belonging in a so-called ‘superdiverse’ Britain.
