Event details
As China and the UAE commemorate 40 years of diplomatic relations in 2024, the deepening ties between the two nations present both rich opportunities and complex challenges for academic inquiry into Chinese migrants in the UAE. In this talk, I will critically reflect on a decade of research on Chinese migrants, with a particular emphasis on Sinophone Muslims. Drawing from my recent work on transnational Chinese Muslim Bitcoiners, I will explore the intersections of Islam, modernity, and the digital economy. Additionally, I will address the theoretical and methodological challenges inherent in studying religious minorities within transnational contexts, highlighting the broader implications for social scientific research in these fluid and dynamic spaces.
