[Yanning Chen @yanning_chen]

Happy to have presented my research on mnemonic labor and material engagement with old mobile phones (1970s-2000s) yesterday at #ECREA2024! Submitting my abstract to the @COHEcrea section was a great decision, as temporality and media technology were central themes of discussion.

We are devastated to share the news that Professor Xiaohong Xu, a co-founder of THiS, passed away after a courageous struggle with colon cancer on Dec 12, 2023. Surrounded by family and friends, Xiaohong left us peacefully and without pain. We will forever miss you, Xiaohong!
