Fascinating, yet sobering, work from Jaekyung Roh about how Korean women migrants share experiences of racism in Australia. This formed emotional common ground and solidarity, allowing these communities to maintain their migrant identities #digint21 @HASSUQ

Jaekyung Roh has published her research on this in a paper with Akane Kanai: Disclosing Racism, Awareness-Raising and Seeking Support: Korean Women Migrants’ Use of Online Cafés tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… #digint21 @HASSUQ
