Merlyna Lim just published an article entitled A CyberUrban Space Odyssey: The Spatiality of Contemporary Social Movements in New Geographies journal. The article scrutinizes the complex entanglement of cyberurban spaces in the making and development of contemporary social movement by analyzing its imaginaries, practices, and trajectories.
This newest issue of New Geographies, “Geographies of Information” (edited by Taraneh Meskhani & Ali Fard), presents a new set of frameworks that refrain from generalizations to highlight the many facets of the socio-technical constructions, processes, and practices that form the spaces of information and communication. In addition to Lim, contributors of the issue include prominent thinkers and scholars in various related disciplines such as Rob Kitchin (critical data), Stephen Graham (urbanism) and Malcolm McCullough (architecture/urban computing).
Lim also had been invited by Cornell University Southeast East Asian Program to deliver a Gatty Lecture entitled “Politics Bytes: Digital Media and Activism In Indonesia 1990-2015” on 8 October 2015.
In October the New Canadian Media had spoken with Lim about the outburst of activism (online and on-the-ground) among Canadians in maintaining the momentum for Syria.
