This chapter draws on my experience since 2017 of working with older Chinese migrants across multiple research projects. I aim to reflect on the role of researchers in working with vulnerable communities and in the process of producing relevant knowledge. By thinking about my positionalities concerning the community and digital media, this chapter considers the ‘benefits’ a researcher can and should bring to the participants and communities throughout the research processes. Rather than being comfortable with potential contributifon to knowledge in the long term, I argue a researcher should consider how research activities must and can benefit participants directly and immediately. Older migrants, in general, are living at the intersection of ageism and racism, and digital technologies have exacerbated and increased the intensity of these discriminations. Researching older Chinese migrants on a topic they are vulnerable to requires additional care and effort to build ongoing relations with relevant communities before, during, and after a project. Researchers are expected to reimagine their role from mere knowledge producers observing from a distance to constructive facilitators of digital learning, community building, and knowledge co-construction.
