Statelessness and the semiotics of benign visibility in Malaysian news media
This study examines how stateless children are visually represented in Malaysian mainstream news media and what these images communicate about belonging, (in)visibility and exclusion. Drawing on Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) and informed by theories of myth, visuality, and spectatorship, it analyses 69 news images published between June 2023 and June 2025 across five major Malaysian outlets. The study identifies two dominant visua…
Blame Anticipation in Personal Narratives of Rape
Rape myths and behaviors indexed as "appropriate" create "common sense" resources to explain away rape by sanctioning victim-blaming. Victim-blaming talk has been identified in perpetrators, formal service providers, and the public. This qualitative study examines narratives constructed by 12 individuals who experienced rape to identify the discursive tools employed as they formulate accounts to justify their actions. Findings imply that assumpti…
Democratising Research Practices With Unaccompanied Refugee Young People Using Participatory Arts-Based Methods
Democratising and participatory research methods enable vulnerable young people such as refugees to document their experiences of displacement on their own terms, allowing them to resist essentialised tropes highlight their helplessness and vulnerability.

Narratives of Resistance Towards Stigmatised Refugee Identities in Malaysia
The tendency to frame refugees as problems and threats has often fuelled negative attitudes among residents of the host countries towards refugees. This can contribute to overall hostile dominant discourses surrounding asylum seekers and refugees. Guided by narrative analysis, this article examines how refugees living in Malaysia cope with stigma through their personal narratives of the refugee experience. The topic is particularly relevant in th…
Negotiating Dual Identities
This article explores the experiences of two Myanmar refugee youths, who were born and raised in Malaysia -Prince, a Rohingya boy and John, a Burmese boy -through their narratives on belonging and identity and Gee's framework for identity analysis. Selected excerpts from the respondents' narratives were analysed using positioning analysis. A salient aspect in the narratives of both respondents was agency to choose for themselves identities that w…
Translation technology adoption
The ability to use translation technology is considered a key component of a translator’s translation competence. However, few studies have investigated the extent of use of translation technology, especially among student translators. This paper reports on a survey of translation technology adoption among 441 students enrolled on a Master-level Programme in Translation and Interpreting. A questionnaire was used to measure student knowledge and f…
Representing immigrants as illegals, threats and victims in Malaysia
This article examines the way the voices of political elites are incorporated in news reporting to represent refugees and asylum seekers in Malaysia as illegals, threats and victims, which reflect their ideological positioning. We also examine voices that foreground their plight and appeal for the relaxation of rules. Selected extracts are analysed to illustrate how these voices and authorial accounts are ordered in relation to each other to repr…
