主讲内容:
In this talk, Cara Wallis will discuss her ethnographic fieldwork that examined how young rural-to-urban migrant women working in the low-level service sector in Beijing engage with mobile phones to navigate their lives in the city. She uses an intersectional framework that considers gender, class, place, and age to understand the cultural, social, aesthetic, and economic uses of mobile communication by these young women.
