Personal profile

Biography

I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Media, Film and Journalism at Monash. My research concerns media, technology, and governance through a critical examination of various sectors, including popular media, digital platforms, and emerging technologies. My primary geographical focus is on China, with an additional interest in the experiences of the broader Asia-Pacific region. I employ a diverse range of research methods, including in-depth interviews, historical and archival research, ethnographic participant observation, and discourse analysis. I am the author of Zoning China: Online Video, Popular Culture, and the State (MIT Press, 2019), which examines China's dual regulatory approach to media governance. My other work has appeared in journals such as New Media & Society, Media, Culture & Society, Information, Communication & Society. My work is supported by the Australian Research Council. 

I am interested in supervising PhD projects that broadly fall under the following areas: television and screen media; internet and digital culture; platform governance and platform society; and emerging technologies, and the future of the digital economy and society.
