Looking forward to my Visiting Fellowship in the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore. I will be there from 23 August to 7 September, giving a talk and facilitating a workshop. Feel free to reach out for meetings and networking. Thank you! #Fellowship #Singapore

Presented my work today on the intersections of gossip, digital ageism and digital exclusion in a migration context. Enjoyed the discussion with the attendees in the seminar. Paper is part of a broader ARC DECRA project exploring the digital divide in the ageing migrant’s personal home. 💯🥂

UPCOMING TALK! As part of my Visiting Fellowship in the Asia Research Institute at the @nusingapore.bsky.social in August, I'll be presenting a paper on "Socio-Technical Care Vortex" To join, register here: ari.nus.edu.sg/events/20250...

The only reason I have stayed (mostly) sane as an academic is because when I took my first job, my family said, "Bloom where you're planted." If you knew my fam, you'd know that's the last thing I'd have expected to hear. But it set me up to just do the work I wanted to do, not climb or compare.

Let's connect! I will be a Visiting Fellow in the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore. I'll be in Singapore from 23 August to 7 September 2025. I'll be talking about the findings of ARC DECRA Fellowship and collab w/ scholars. See you!

Next week!

Two fab news today. Received the page proofs of a book chapter. It’a about ageing migrants’ digital repertoires during the pandemic. Also received a notification of an accepted book chapter. It’s on the digital care practices of older Filipina Australians. 🥂🎉💯

My copy arrived. Looking forward to reading the book of the brilliant scholar and my supportive and caring co-editor, A/Prof Valerie Francisco. Another groundbreaking book on care and migration. 🙏🥂🍾

CfP ‘Feminist and Gendered Geographies of Resistance’ - RGS 2025. We are interested in a range of gendered resistance practices, whether on the frontlines or ‘everyday,’ to the social reproductive and care practices that enable movements. Pls submit abstracts to myself & @drvanessalamb.bsky.social

The policies and interventions of Trump is reversing and disabling programs and projects designed to foster an inclusive and safe society. We’re going backwards!

The lifecourse is a context through which one can examine the living experiences of older migrants. But a asymmetrical spatio-temporal dimension becomes an optic to also unpack the stark inequalities navigated by older migrants in a digital age.

So glad to see this great SI in @icsjournal.bsky.social out ! I had a great time writing "Desiloization and its discontents: the politics of data storage in the age of platformization" w @matthewarcher.bsky.social and Henriette Steiner for it 👉 link: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Fantastic. Revised chapter is accepted for publication in an edited collection. 🥂🎉

Far right movements everywhere. As usual, they’re blaming migration as the roots and causes for a lot issues of nation-states.

There are different and multiple temporalities that intersect in the lives of migrants, including the temporality of one’s location, the temporality of one’s homeland (imagined and accessed via tech), and the temporalities of algorithmic recommendations and platform properties.
