General Background:
Heather Inwood is interested in the relationship between new media and contemporary culture in the PRC, especially the ways in which developing technologies and media practices are molding literary and cultural production. Her PhD dissertation, "On the Scene of Contemporary Chinese Poetry", analyzes cultural discourse on the "live scene" (xianchang) and "liveness" (xianchangxing), spanning different spaces of the media to investigate the formation and conceptualization of the post-2000 poetry "scene" in mainland China. Her recent article, “Identity Politics in Online Chinese Poetry Groups,” appears in the Postmodern China edition of Chinese History and Society. She regularly presents her work at conferences, including those held by the Association for Chinese and Comparative Literature, the British Association for Chinese Studies and the International Convention of Asia Scholars. In addition to her academic work, Heather has written articles in Chinese for newspapers and magazines in China and the UK, and enjoys updating her Chinese-language blog on more lighthearted aspects of contemporary Chinese and British culture and society. Before coming to OSU, she studied at Cambridge University, Beijing University, and SOAS, the University of London.
