Funded Activity Summary

Too quick or too slow? Unpacking digital temporalities in networked Vietnam. This project aims to study how digital media shape ordinary people’s lived experience of time in Vietnam. It investigates the hidden costs of promoting a digital future without accounting for stagnating structural reforms on the ground. Using ethnographic research, the project examines the lives of online petty traders, rideshare Grab bikers, tech developers, and residents in designated high-tech neighbourhoods to reveal how fast-paced digital technologies, slow-moving infrastructural change, and indelible sociocultural histories intersect. Expected outcomes include vital new knowledge of Southeast Asian digital cultures that will benefit the sustainability of Australian aid in technological development in Southeast Asia.
