The computational turn in the social sciences and humanities has generated much excitement about the potential to refresh our approaches to the study of the techno-social. From natively digital to digitised data, researchers of digital diasporas increasingly find themselves working with a range of disparate digital objects. These digital objects can include anything from hyperlink to timestamps, from platform behavioural metrics such as react, share, or retweet to different media formats such as text, image, pre-recorded or livestreamed videos. Taking these disparate objects into account, this book introduces digital methods as research strategies not only for dealing with the ephemeral and unstable nature of tracing the diaspora with digital data, but also for reconceptualizing digital diasporas as assemblages and networks of more-than-human actors. The book also introduces a range of theoretical perspectives and methodological techniques to studying digital diasporas as contingent and processual hybrid collectives of heterogeneous material, cultural, and practice-based assemblages.This book will be essential reading for students and scholars interested in the digital space and transnational communities.

Networks of Belonging examines how digitally networked communication technologies create spaces of belonging for people of refugee and migrant backgrounds in resettlement contexts, focusing on Australia.The internet has become a primary facilitator for social connection, transforming how displaced and mobile people maintain relationships across distance. For communities facing significant barriers to connection, such as globally dispersed social networks and often the inability to return to their place of origin, digital technologies can offer vital pathways to belonging and social inclusion in new environments. The book begins by considering the history of refugee and migrant inclusion in Australia and the historical practice of migrant letter-writing, as a critical analogue reference point to today’s digital ubiquity. By investigating how communication technologies enable access to social connection, particularly among those navigating resettlement, the research offers lived perspectives on the evolving nature of digital sociality and its importance for refugee and migrant communities. Three key dyadic relationships of interstitiality frame the analysis: Inclusion-exclusion, digital-physical, and local-global. This approach highlights the nuances of situated lives and personal narratives gathered through qualitative interviews and photo-elicitation with people of refugee and migrant backgrounds in Melbourne, Australia, while advocating for a relational understanding of social inclusion, exclusion, and belonging; digital and physical sociality; and a local and global sense of place. This book will be of value to students and researchers across multiple fields, including media and communications, refugee and migration studies, social inclusion, multiculturalism and belonging, and digital communication.
