the team
Our research partnership consists of anthropologists and media researchers with long-term ethnographic research experience working with individuals and groups across mainland Southeast Asia:
Myanmar, Lao PDR, Vietnam, Thailand, and in the porous borderlands that define the relations between these nations.
As ethnographers we share a concern to understand the diverse ways people appropriate media technologies and negotiate media environments.
