Currently, I am engaged in the development of transformative, participatory and ethnically inclusive learning spaces and research programmes in partneships with various disciplines and communities. These collaborations include: a) partnering with Chinese young people, sociologists, philosophers, artists and designers in the ‘Imagining Otherwise’ action research hub. Together, we explore the role of imagination, sensory methodologies and arts to envision and experiment with alternative possible futures. Our experimentation led to the 'Black Box' project, funded by CUHKSZ, which aimed to empower young Chinese to reimagine 'success' and b) collaborating with Chinese rural communities and urban youth we focus on the significance of bottom-up participation and community engagement in achieving sustainable and harmonious development.
I am also working with historians and political scientists from the Hong Kong Baptist University and SEESOX, Oxford University on a project looking at the Greek Diaspora in the Great Bay Area. Our study seeks for the first time to explore the voices and everyday lives of the "early" Greeks, who settled in British Hong Kong in the 80s and the 90s, as well as of the most contemporary ones.
