About

This research portal was founded in October 2020 by A/Prof Crystal Abidin and a group of Asia Pacific-based interdisciplinary scholars who are studying TikTok cultures from a variety of qualitative research methodologies.

Our first event was a symposium about TikTok Cultures in the Asia Pacific held on 7 December 2020 with a corresponding Special Issue in production to be published in 2022. Our second event was a public-facing forum on TikTok Youth Cultures in the Age of COVID-19 held on 29 March 2021. Our third event was an expert panel on TikTok Methodologies held on 19 July 2021. Our fourth event is symposium about TikTok and Social Movements that will take place on 20 September 2021.

If you are interested in joining the TikTok Cultures Research Network we invite you to submit an expression of interest via our online form available here.
