Social Media Use and Migrants' Intersectional Positioning: A Case Study of Vietnamese Female Migrants

Abstract: Social media can benefit migrant communities in various ways since the sense of belonging and social inclusion have increasingly been facilitated by online participatory activity over the last decade. However, participating in social media requires not only physical thresholds such as access to internet-connected devices but also intangible assets such as linguistic skills, education, and time. As these resources are not equally available to all members of society, social media adoption differs depending on the users' positioning. Within the intersectional framework, we explore how social circumstances influence the social media use of female migrants from Vietnam. Research on migrants' social media use rarely focuses on migrants' multilayers of identities and intersectionality, nor does it zoom in on different (in)voluntary migration routes within Asia (in contrast to South-North migration). Our case study focuses on two groups of Vietnamese female migrants: those who had migrated
