New media, expectant motherhood, and transnational families
This article examines the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in transnational expectant motherhood in the context of birth tourism, a growing form of transnational family arrangement.

The findings suggest that long-distance intimacy is now primarily mediated through ICT use, which not only functio…

For the research, I used interviews, participant observation and documentary analysis to explore the case of London-based Chinese professionals and their contacts with the PRC government. The findin…
Gendered media, changing intimacy
This article explores the ways in which migrants use the internet to maintain family relationships and how the difference in digital knowledge and skills between men and women serves to transform the power dynamics in the family sphere transnationally. It examines the intersection of the research areas of transnationalism, digital inequality and family. While the discussion of digital inequalities is seldom embedded in the context of transnationa…
Online Spatialisation and Embodied Experiences
This paper examines the networked reproduction of migrants’ homeland not as virtual but as embodied spatial experiences. Using ethnographic methods, this research is based on participant observation of two main associations for Chinese professionals in London and semi-structured interviews with their members. It is found that the Internet is used by the migrants to construct three key embodied elements of the spatial experiences of the homeland. …
Homeland Re-Territorialized
This paper examines migrants' use of the Internet to re-territorialize homeland, exploring the resurgence of geographical places in making and maintaining identities in the digital age. Conducting semi-structured interviews and participant observation, this research focuses on the London-based Chinese population and demonstrates various ways in which the Internet plays a key role in reinforcing these migrants' territorial attachment. In so doing,…
