  • 2015 Annual Report
    2015 ANNUAL REPORT WHERE WE ARE TODAY In our !ve years since founding UsAgainstAlzheimer’s, we’ve been proud and humbled to serve as tireless advocates for the millions of families that have been impacted by this devastating disease. We’ve set a bold goal — to STOP A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDERS Alzheimer’s disease — and together, we’re making progress. Our power and our purpose continue to grow! Ending Alzheimer’s is our life’s goal. Because of our family’s personal experience with this cruel, relentless disease and on behalf of 5.4 million of our fellow Americans currently suffering from Alzheimer’s, no work could be more important, nor a cure more crucial. In just 5 years, UsAgainstAlzheimer’s has become a force; an unrelenting voice for attention to the disease; a tireless advocate for families dealing with Alzheimer’s; a partner with governments, industry and premier research organizations; a designer and builder of cross-sector partnerships; and a leader in demanding increased focus, cooperation and speed from all players. We work on each of these issues in different ways with different partners, on both a national and international basis. Bottom line: we simply cannot and will not tolerate business-as-usual in pursuit of a cure. It was an incredible year, and none of it would have happened without your generosity, engagement and belief that, together, all of “us” can make a difference and speed a cure. We look forward to working with you in 2016 to put a dagger through the evil heart of Alzheimer’s! George Vradenburg Trish Vradenburg

  • Dating, Digital Media, and Diaspora: Contextualising the Cultural Uses of Tinder and Tantan Among Australian Chinese Diasporas
    DATING, DIGITAL MEDIA, AND DIASPORA: CONTEXTUALISING THE CULTURAL USES OF TINDER AND TANTAN AMONG AUSTRALIAN CHINESE DIASPORAS Xu Chen BA, MA Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Communication Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2020 Keywords Chinese diasporas Dating apps Digital cultures Ethnicity Sexual cultures Social media Dating, digital media, and diaspora: Contextualising the cultural uses of Tinder and Tantan among Australian Chinese diasporas i Abstract Bringing together perspectives from digital dating, sexual cultures, and diaspora studies, this project investigates how Australia-based Chinese users engage with Tinder and Tantan, two dating applications (apps) that have emerged from different cultural contexts – one Western, and one non-Western. Tantan is a popular dating app in mainland China. It was designed to mimic Tinder which, like other Western social media platforms, is blocked in mainland China. Although the study of dating apps has become a burgeoning research field over the past decade, little work has been done – and then only recently – on diasporic uses of dating apps. Research focusing on digital diaspora has shown that social media are essential to the maintenance and negotiation of diasporic identity among Australian Chinese diasporas. Within this digital-diasporic research, however, little attention has been paid to the role of dating apps, despite the popularity of both Chinese and Western dating apps among Chinese diasporic communities. To address this lack of attention, this research places a much-needed focus on the role of dating apps within digital diaspora studies. At the same time, it expands the emerging critical focus on diaspora within dating app studies.

Ushinsky The presented article is aimed at elaborating the problem of specific features of the Internet language in the contrasted typologically not closely related languages: English and Chinese. On the basis of the analysis of the corpus of slang words and neologisms selected from the investigated Internet-chats (Internet slang glossaries) in Chinese and English there has been concluded that the sources for the Internet-sociolect are mainly abbreviation, English borrowings into other languages, transfer of meaning, homonymy, broadening or narrowing of meaning, shortened records in numbers and affixation. Neologisms are the prominent feature of the Internet-sociolect in all the languages in the focus of the research. The main objective of the paper consists in investigating the common and distinctive features of the Internet-language in the aspect of the mechanism of the production and functioning of the neologisms.
