Current research
Jay is the Principal Investigator of the Research England International Science Partnersip Fund (ODA) project 'Narrating Intergenerational Voices' that examines left-behind children's inclusion in decision-making processes of mother-away families in the Philippines. In this project, he investigates how children's voices are heard in deciding about migration and education projects of left-behind families by Filipinas working as domestic workers in Hong Kong and Singapore, and nursing professionals in the United Kingdom and Australia. He is also a team member for the 'School Voices: A Research-Practice Partnership' project led by Professor Kiki Messiou. This project explores innovative approaches of student voice and dialogues to promote inclusion in schools and improve learning outcomes.
He was previously the Principal Investigator of the Universitas-21 funded transnational collaborative project ‘Resilience Beyond Borders: Im/Mobilities of Underrepresented Academics During the COVID-19 Pandemic’ (2021-2022). Previously, he was a Co-Investigator for the project ‘Academic Resilience: Stories We Tell’ (2020-2021) that studied the strategies used by academics to cope with the challenges that emerged at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In these projects, Jay works with early, mid, and advanced-career academics from The University of Hong Kong, The University of Melbourne, The University of Queensland, University of California Davis, Monash University, and University of New England. Jay co-hosts The Resilient Academic Podcast with Dr. Marian Mahat, Dr. Jo Blannin, and Prof. Caroline Cohrssen.
