Abstract or Description

In this session, Carmen uses Hong Kong immigrants in the UK as a case study to explore the use of technology and social media in immigrant communities. She starts by contextualizing the homesickness and well-being of immigrants. She will talk about how Hongkongers are using social media to build solidarity, radical welcoming and manifestations of sanctuary. She concludes by highlighting the use of social media for research and practice.
