This page lists graduate students who have since graduated under my supervision.
For the profile of current graduate students, see here.
Linqiu Li (she/her) earned Masters degree from the Department of Communication and New Media (CNM) at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Prior to that, she studied communication at Temple University and Rutgers University in the US. While studying in the U.S., her research interest was in the study of Sham marriage among Chinese sexual minorities, and after coming to Singapore she began to focus more on Chinese immigrant sexual minorities. Her research interest in intercultural gender, sexuality and especially queer women community derives from a larger concern for people and community who suffer from voice deprivation. Her ongoing dissertation project is about understanding and exploring the cumulative impact and experience of Singapore-based Chinese queer women’s use of social media to build romance intimacy and the online to offline transition of intimacy.
Wi En Ng (she/her) completed her Master’s degree in Communication and New Media at the National University of Singapore. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences (Hons) from the same university. Her area of research focuses on exploring the impact of media technology use on embodied experiences and how it shapes communication and daily interactions. Her current work seeks to examine the impact of virtual fashion in the metaverse and its influence on identity formation.
Cindy Ho (she/her) earned her Master’s by Research from the Department of Communications and New Media (CNM) at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Her research interests include body image and body politics on Instagram, leveraging on feminist, fat and media studies. Her ongoing thesis explores the body positivity movement in Singapore, particularly how local women challenge or reinforce beauty standards through concerted efforts. On the other hand, her teaching portfolio focuses on strategic communication and media writing.
Yimin Huang (she/her) earned her M.A. in Communications and New Media from the National University of Singapore in 2022. Prior to this, she received a B.A. in Chinese language and literature from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Her master’s thesis, “Feminist Bloggers and Online Feminist Activism on Social Media in China,” explored how feminist bloggers participate in online feminist activism in an everyday pattern on the Weibo social network and how they cope with resistance to feminism (including stigmatization of feminism, misogyny, and online censorship) in the post-#MeToo era.
