Before joining UC San Diego’s Sociology Ph.D. Program, I worked in New York City, San Francisco and San Diego developing digital literacy programs in low-income communities for the likes of the United Nations, NASA (National Aeronautics Space Agency), Student Planet (Beijing), and the New York City public school system. My teaching methodology drew upon narratives that were reflective of my students, this included popular media from hip-hop culture to web blogs.
The communities I worked with tended to be ignored by technology companies as serious users and creators.My work was an attempt to address this oversight.I eventually realized that technology-based literacy programs were limited in their effectiveness over time, as these were short-term solutions to larger external problems. The scope of the problem extended beyond the community to lar]]> Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:44:10 +0000 mod http://triciawang.pbwiki.com/Bio email.hidden@example.com (wun) wun edited Bio I am researcher who studies the intersection of technology and migration in urban environments. I am interested in the increased access and constraints that come along with new information communication technologies (ICTs). My research is on (1) emerging practices of ICT usage among rural-urban migrants--in particular new forms of urban citizenship; (2) how citizenship and telecommunication policy factor into the incorporation of migrants in the urban space; and (3) new practices that emerge as a response to ICT policies. My regions of interest are marginalized and low-income communities in China, India, US and Mexico. My research methods are based in ethnography and quantitative ethno-survey methods.
For my planned disseration work in China in 2009-2010, I will focus on how transnational digital infrastructures of information (e.g. the Internet) and nation- specific forms of communication (e.g. cellphone infrastructure) form as social structures that complexly shape migrant’s communication practices.
