I focus on transnational migration and digital technologies and practices. While my previous research has looked at face-to-face communication and cultural, religious, and political grouping processes of migrants, my current research attempts to understand the role of digital connectivities in the lives of asylum seekers and refugees. Conceptually, I have written on the digital and place-making, digital heterotopia, ways of becoming in relation to forced migration, and affect and digital practice. Like my previous research, my current project on forced migration is supported by a GRF grant from Hong Kong. I am founding member of a new center on migration and mobilities at CUHK and hope to create with my colleagues productive collaborative projects on migration (in Asia) in the future.
Question objectivity, inquire how knowledge is created. Then you will understand the nature of the struggle about communicative resources and who has the power to speak and write and why. |
