Overview

I am a PhD student in the school of Literatures, Languages & Cultures at the University of Edinburgh supported by the SGSAH AHRC DTP studentship. Her research seeks to investigate the interaction between gender, medicine, and media in Republican China using a transcultural approach.

Research summary

My research interest is primarily in visual history and gender studies. I am interested in the interaction between colonial and colonised cultures, and the intersections between gender and national identities.

Current research interests

My PhD research explores nudity and the female body in media, arts and popularised medical science during the Republican Period in China (1911 - 1949) in the context of feminism, semi-colonialism, and a new transcultural medical discourse. I will consider the interaction and tension between culture and science in relation to their impact on women's lives and gender roles.

Past research interests

My Master's thesis investigated the radical nude art of Pan Yuliang 潘玉良 (1895-1977) and I have written about the use and impact of women's bodies in Chinese propaganda during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
