Elizer Jay De Los Reyes Email & Phone Number

Dr Jay de los Reyes is a Lecturer at the Southampton Education School of the University of Southampton. He was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow at the National University of Singapore, Department of Communications & New Media. In 2020, completed his PhD at the University of Melbourne under the supervision of Prof. Fazal Rizvi and Prof. Julie McLeod. While in NUS, Jay was closely mentored by Prof. Audrey Yue, a foremost media and cultural studies scholar. Jay’s research occurs at the overlap of migration, youth, cultural, educational, and indigenous studies. Born and raised in the villages of the northern Philippines, Jay draws from his biography in examining the transnational connections between emigrant Filipina domestic workers in Singapore and their left behind families in rural Philippines through the lens of what he calls “global spectating”. Jay’s project hopes to offer a possible way of looking at the “mobile” and the “moored” in non-asymmetrical and covalent terms. Previously, Jay was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Illinois (2012-2014), a German Academic Exchange Scholar at the Bielefeld Graduate School in History & Sociology (Fall 2017), and a Faculty First-Look Fellow at New York University – Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development (2017-2018).
