Podcast: For Example
Together with Kennedy Wong and Sharon Yam, I co-host a (primarily) Cantonese podcast in which we invite guests from both academia and the policy world to discuss current affairs and academic works that are of interest to Cantonese-speaking communities around the world. You can tune in to our podcast via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Youtube, and Podbean.
Here are some sample episodes:
On AI and transnational repression
On Politics of Indigeneity in Hong Kong and the Tanka People
On Affect and Alienation in Diaspora
Hong Kong Social Movement Oral History Project (2025)
I was part of a team that documented Hong Kong's long history of civic struggles leading up to 2019 and its aftermaths through collecting the voices of participants from different generations and positionalities. This project culminated in, among other things, a bilingual (English and Chinese) edited volume that contains many of these stories and conversations in the form of oral history.
You can find a digital copy of the edited volume on Internet Archive.
An expanded version of this oral history can be found on the Project's Medium account.
Media Coverage:

"Hong Kong Social Movement Oral History in the Construction of a Hong Kong Diaspora" (Photon)
"Resisting History of the Victors; Overseas HK Scholars Writing HK's 2019 Protests Oral History" (RFA)
