I am a Lecturer of Anthropology at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I hold a PhD in Sociology from the New School for Social Research. I am mostly interested in the themeless of: Crisis and transition, work and organizations, media and economy, global connections of nationalism.
My current project explores the practices and crisis of privileged mobility and the ambiguities of place-making in Hong Kong. My previous research examines how the processes of destination marketing constitute the commodification of national narratives in global markets of tourism; and how economic crisis and technological innovation change practices and relations of production and employment in freelance journalism.
My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the India-China Institute/Starr Foundation.
