Professional Summary
A PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh, my research focus is on art history and gender studies, specifically focused on Chinese media in the 1920s and '30s. I am interested in the interaction between colonial and colonised cultures and intersections between gender and national identities. I hope to develop a career in research whilst maintaining my passion for public engagement through accessible outreach and communication.
