This beautiful magazine published an interview with me discussing the internet and social media in China. The best part is that it's in Spanish, though I wish it had an English edition as well:

I love how much focus on the autoethnographic is present today at @cdcspenn.bsky.social's symposium! We as scholars need to remember our own relationship to leisure and play as we navigate complicated and tension-filled online spaces of leisure and play.
