RESEARCH
My current research project From Radio to Podcast: Women and Sound-making in Modern China situates the contemporary emergence of Chinese women’s podcasts within an understudied history of women’s sound-making practices through various media technologies such as gramophone, film dubbing, radio, and loudspeakers since the early twentieth century. This project uses both in-depth interviews and historical archive to excavate women's underrepresented voices in China's modern history.
In an ongoing collaborative study with Simona, a podcast host/feminist, we use both qualitative and quantitative methods to examine the crucial role played by Chinese woman podcasters in the rapidly changing podcasting ecology in China.
