The main line of my research is at the intersection of race and ethnic relations, international migration, social networks, and identity politics across borders. It is a book manuscript project that based on my dissertation, titled: “Making and Unmaking Chinese-ness: The Formation and Decline of Overseas Chinese Identity in Australia.” This research investigates the relationship between national politics and migrants’ ethnic identities, contested Chinese culture across borders, and the assimilation experiences of both long-term and temporary Chinese migrants in Australia. In a secondary line of the research, I will draw the data from Twitter concerning racial discrimination on Airbnb, this research aims to advance the understanding of the forms and meanings of racial discrimination on Airbnb over time. A third line of my research will examine group interaction experiences of Hong Kongers and new immigrants (from China and other countries) who live in public rental housing in Hong Kong.
