Recent technological upheavals, including the embedding of social media and the advent of generative AI, have radically altered young women’s understanding and experience of intimacy. This symposium presents research findings of a three-year, multi-sited qualitative and ethnographic study of young university-going women in four cities: Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Singapore, and Bangalore, to reveal how they negotiate the institutions of family, marriage, and tertiary education which have undergone profound transformation due to digital mediation.
