About关于我
I am a motivated and versatile media and cultural studies researcher with an interdisciplinary academic background spanning digital media, communication, cultural studies, and Chinese language and literature. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Media, Culture and Heritage at Newcastle University.
My doctoral research, Gender Ideological Diversity: An Investigation of Women's Gendered Anti‑fandom Practices Towards Idols on Social Media in China, sits at the intersection of fandom studies, gender, and platform culture. More broadly, I am interested in the critical study of media and communication‑based cultural phenomena — particularly from social media, gender, popular culture, and digital technology (GenAI) perspectives.
I have experience in qualitative research, academic literature review, academic writing, teaching support, media content creation, and event organisation.
我是一名积极进取、研究领域广泛的媒介与文化研究者，拥有数字媒体、传播学、文化研究以及中国语言文学等跨学科的学术背景。我目前正在纽卡斯尔大学攻读媒介、文化与遗产专业博士学位。
我的博士课题《性别意识形态多样性：中国社交媒体上女性粉丝对偶像的性别化反粉丝实践研究》，处于粉丝文化研究、性别研究与平台文化的交叉领域。更广泛而言，我关注以媒介与传播为基础的文化现象的批判性研究，尤其是社交媒体、性别、流行文化与数字技术（生成式人工智能）的视角。
我在质性研究、学术文献综述、学术写作、教学支持、媒体内容创作及活动组织方面积累了丰富经验。
