Dear friends, Dr Crystal Abidin, Professor Michael Keane, and the Centre for Culture and Technology (CCAT) at Curtin University are pleased to announce a one-day virtual symposium on ‘Cultures of TikTok in the Asia Pacific’ taking place via Zoom on 7 December 2020 from 08:30-15:00 (GMT+8). This event will be a critical forum for cutting edge research on TikTok, the globally influential short video platform that has captivated international attention and made headlines over the past two years. This event features twenty presentations that focus on the cultures of TikTok (including but not limited to the platform, players, and politics) throughout the Asia Pacific Region. Contributions to this symposium will help pioneer research directions, approaches, and methodologies for studying TikTok and create resources for curriculum development and future research collaborations.
