Overview

I was a journalist with 13 years of experience in Hong Kong and Indonesia, specialising in geopolitical climate change, labour and immigration. After being injured while front-line reporting in Hong Kong, I study to become a researcher in journalism studies.

This PhD study is my first step towards my long-term goal of journalism studies on censorship, data surveillance, diasporic journalism, and journalism in exile/refugee journalism. I welcome anyone with similar research interests to contact me for collaborations. This includes research on immigration and law.
