I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of East Asian Studies. My research examines the intersection of rural media infrastructure, rural transformation, and subject formation in contemporary China. I investigate how successive media-technological systems function as epistemic apparatuses that actively constitute rural localities, temporalities, and modes of knowing. My research interests include: Chinese film and media, the rurality of media infrastructure, linguistic anthropology of media.
