🚨 New Publication Alert Our latest article, “Mapping the evolving networks of the #StopAsianHate movement on Twitter: the role of serial participants in digital activism,” is now out in Information, Communication & Society. By applying two waves of network analysis, we trace how serial participants sustained — and where fragmentation weakened — digital anti-racism activism over time.

At Inter-Asia Cultural Studies 2025, Dr. Weiyu Zhang joined Chih-Ming Wang , Dingkun Wang, and Patrick Chenglong Zhou in a panel on Translating Contemporary Chineseness. The session brought together four distinct yet interconnected takes on how Chineseness is articulated, mediated, and received across global and local contexts. From Chih-Ming Wang’s theorization of “the Chinese contemporary” to Dingkun Wang’s exploration of informal audiovisual translation, from Patrick Zhou’s analysis of audience counter-readings of Mulan to Weiyu Zhang’s computational study of Liziqi’s global reception, the panel showcased how translating Chineseness—broadly conceived—functions as a method to understand identity work, cultural circulation, and geopolitical tensions in and beyond China. #IACS2025 #InterAsiaStudies #CulturalStudies #TranslationStudies #MediaStudies #ChinaStudies #GlobalMedia #CivicTechLab

A momentous gathering for the 50th Anniversary of IAMCR’s Communication Policy & Technology section 🎉 We’re deeply honoured to host 4–5 generations of scholars from 6 continents, reflecting on the past and future of our field with honesty, urgency, and hope. Prof Lionel Wee, Dean of NUS FASS, kicked things off with a witty and optimistic welcome. Founding figures and field-shapers like Cees Hamelink, Robin Mansell, Rohan Samarajiva, Hopeton Dunn, Francesca Musiani, and Julia Pohle gave stirring reflections on the power dynamics shaping media and communication policy. We spotlighted Asia-Pacific leadership in a regional panel with Peng Hwa Ang, Yu-li Liu, Jonathon Hutchinson, and Prof Hong Yu from Zhejiang University A timely panel on AI governance featured key insights from international and local policy actors: Tarja Turtia, Jingbo Huang, Jungpil Hahn, and Han Ei Chew (PhD). Two more panels showcased cutting-edge research on the evolving scope of communication policy—from infrastructures to rights, algorithms to activism. Massive thanks to our organizing team: Renyi Hong, Jun Yu, and our director Weiyu Zhang. This celebration was a labour of love—and a feast of ideas. The conversations don’t stop here.
