I’m involved in a new project on “moving/homing” as part of an AHRC funded Activist-in-Residence Scheme:

Activist-in-Residence schemes, which see social and political activists reside in and work at academic institutions, are increasingly gaining traction in the UK as ways for researchers and activists to think collaboratively and expansively about how to solve pressing social issues. By promoting a culture of social responsibility, strengthening community engagement, and enriching academic research with practical insights, such initiatives possess rich potential to secure positive impacts, both within the academy and beyond.

Here’s more about our project:

moving/homing by kindredpacket. A project focused on examining intersections between home, movement and digital technologies among people from an East and Southeast Asian background. Dr Wing-Fai Leung (Culture, Media & Creative Industries), Dr Jonathan Gray (Digital Humanities) and David Kam (movement artist and teacher).

More about the scheme and the other projects this year can be found here.
