Under a Chiang Ching-kuo Research Project, ‘Communal Diasporic Voluntary Public Cultures’, I have examined the impact of returns of overseas migrants to their Asian homelands, in collaboration with Dr Gary Lee. We were working in China, Thailand, Laos and Australia and included Hmong communities in France and the USA. Currently based in Shanghai, I am examining the impact of ethnic minority rural migrants in the city and their source locations. I have also recently completed projects on the self, consumerism and romanticism in China and among the diasporic Hmong community.
