As part of the Infrastructure Humanities Academy Program (Interlink), the Academy of Mobility Humanities (AMH) participated in a conference held at the National University of Singapore (NUS) on October 30–31, 2025.
The event was organized by the Asia Research Institute (ARI), NUS, which signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with AMH in July 2025. It was co-hosted by ARI, the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), and the Institute for Mobility Humanities.
Under the theme “Digital Work, Mobilities, and Changing Cities in Asia,” the conference explored the emerging forms of digital labor, materiality, and the proliferation of mobility across Asian contexts.
Researchers from AMH presented their work in the “Governance” session on the first day:
- Professor Taehee Kim (HK Professor) presented “Digital Social Infrastructure in Korea: An Analysis of the Market Platform ‘Danggeun’ Based on Eric Klinenberg’s Concept of Social Infrastructure.”
- Dr. Bomi Lim (HK Research Professor) presented “Between Criminals and Workers: The Parallels of Digital Surveillance Mechanisms in Korean Society.”
- Dr. Hongseok Yoon (HK Research Professor) presented “Realizing New Realities: Inclusive Virtual Mobility through Avatar Embodiment.”
Through this workshop, AMH strengthened its research collaboration with ARI and expanded its academic network across Asia.
