Jason researches the transnationality of media and multiculturalism as well as of global South digital media cultures
Jason's current research takes an ethnographic approach to foreground the transnational entanglements of how cross-cultural solidarities and intimacies are mediated in different societies across the world. He likewise attends to how such entanglements shape digital media cultures in the global South. He is co-author/co-editor of three books and has published in numerous top-tier journals. He is presently completing his full-length monograph on media and postcolonial racism, which will be published by New York University Press.
