Exploring the digital divide in the ageing migrant’s personal home

该项目旨在调查老年移民在其个人家庭环境中获取和使用数字通信技术的经验。以老年菲律宾裔澳大利亚人为例，利用多地点人种学和视觉方法，该项目有望就数字鸿沟对他们个人和社会福祉的后果产生新的知识。预期成果包括在文化上适当的建议和资源材料，以确定和减少老年移民、移民社区、政策制定者和相关利益攸关方的沟通障碍。这应该会在增强老龄移民在安全的数字环境中导航的连接能力方面带来重大好处。

This project aims to investigate the experiences of ageing migrants in accessing and using digital communication technologies in their personal home settings. Taking the case of elderly Filipino-Australians, and deploying multi-sited ethnography and visual methods, this project expects to generate new knowledge on the consequences of digital divide on their personal and social wellbeing. Expected outcomes include culturally appropriate recommendations and resource materials to determine and reduce communication barriers for ageing migrants, migrant communities, policy makers, and relevant stakeholders. This should provide significant benefits in enhancing ageing migrants’ connective capacities to navigate a secure digital landscape.
