Cultures of TikTok in the Asia Pacific Symposium (7 December 2020): Call for Papers


Dr Crystal Abidin, Prof Michael Keane, and the Centre for Culture and Technology at Curtin University invite submissions to a virtual symposium on Cultures of TikTok in the Asia Pacific. 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. In particular, this event focuses 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 methodologies for studying TikTok and create further resources for curriculum development and future research.


This half-day virtual symposium will take place via Zoom on 7 December 2020 featuring presentations from contributors and a keynote delivered by Associate Professor Haiqing Yu (RMIT). Each contributing speaker will have approximately 15 minutes (10 minutes to present, 5 minutes for Q&A).


We invite submissions from researchers working in the Humanities and Social Sciences, including but not limited to in Internet Studies, Media Studies, Communication, Sociology, Anthropology, Theatre, Screen and Digital Media, Cultural Studies, and Journalism.


HDRs and ECRs (up to 5 years post-PhD + career interruptions) are strongly encouraged to apply.This will be an excellent opportunity for emerging researchers to receive supportive feedback from their peers.


Following the event, participants will be given publication mentoring opportunities through Dr Abidin and Prof Keane. A selection of papers will also be considered for inclusion in a Special Section tentatively entitled “Cultures of TikTok in the Asia Pacific” that will be published in a top ranked peer-reviewed journal in the field of Internet Studies or Media Studies.
