I recently gave a conference paper about my project online in the Antipodes. I received some good feedback about the paper which will hopefully lead to some collaboration in the future. Anyway, I was a bit annoyed with myself as my responses during the Q and A were not up to my usual standard. IContinue reading “Why I use the terms ‘Transnational’ and ‘Identities’ in the title of my research project”

I thought it would be good to share an update about my research project before the end of the year. I published the first article from my project in June of this year in the Journal of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies (JACANZS): ‘Transnational Identities of the Global South Asian Diaspora in Australia, Canada, AotearoaContinue reading “Publishing my research and presenting about my project”

I thought as it had been quite a while since my last blog post, I would share an update about my research project. As with the last few posts the Covid-19 pandemic continues to hang around like a dark shadow over my project…Unfortunately, I have still not been able to go overseas to carry outContinue reading “Covid-19 continues to hang around like a dark shadow over my Research Project…”

I thought I would share an update on my research project as it has been a few months since the last one. Unfortunately the continuing Covid-19 pandemic means that I was unable to go overseas during the summer to carry out more research for my project…However, this did mean that I decided to change myContinue reading “Being flexible in your international research project during a global pandemic”

As it had been a while since my last update I thought I would write a post on my research project. One of the reasons why there has been such a long time since my last post is because I was unfortunately not able to go on my research trip to Canberra, Australia last monthContinue reading “The challenges of working on an international research project during a global pandemic…”

My recent research trip to London, UK was very productive. This was despite the Coronavirus being declared a pandemic while I was in London and the fear that the National Archives of the UK and the British Library could close any day hanging over me…Through a combination of hard work (I do not think IContinue reading “Research achievements and challenges”

I have been in the United Kingdom (UK) for the past week carrying out primary research for my research project, my first overseas trip for it. However, it has certainly been an eventful one…Before leaving Hong Kong I was anxious about whether my new flight (my previous one earlier in the day had been cancelled)Continue reading “An eventful first overseas research trip for the project…”

For my previous three research projects (‘The search for a new national identity: A comparative study of the rise of multiculturalism in Canada and Australia, 1890s-1970s’, ‘Australia in War and Peace, 1914-1919’, and ‘The end of the British World and the redefinition of citizenship in Australia, Canada, and Aotearoa New Zealand, 1950s-1970s’) I have alwaysContinue reading “Getting down to business!”

My new research project: ‘Transnational Identities of the Global South Asian Diaspora in Australia, Canada, Aotearoa New Zealand, and South Africa’ officially began on 1 December 2019. Perhaps fittingly I was just on my way back home to Hong Kong from a conference in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. I cannot wait to return there toContinue reading “Launching my new research project!”
