Biography

I study the appropriation and circulation of new media among marginal users in China and Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on local knowledge production and information sharing practices. I employ qualitative research methods, in particular ethnography, and am currently researching the self-invention of new media users in rural China, and the "digital imagination" in Myanmar.

Teaching

Research

China and Southeast Asia, particularly Myanmar; Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD); Information Society and digital divides; localized information sharing practices and media production; intermediation in digital media use; rural markets and new media.
