A number of GMM alumni go on to publish and work in academia following their degrees, in some cases publishing work that they began developing on the programme.
We are excited to share that Yiwen Xia, who studied with us in 2019-2020, has published research begun during the modules Global Media 1: Ideas and Debates, and during the Final Project phase:
- Xia, Y. (2021) How do Beauty Influencers Establish Authenticity in Their Favor? – Two Case Studies of Beauty Influencer “Zoella” on YouTube and “Mofan Zhang” on Weibo. In Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS 2021).
- Xia, Y. (2021) Representation of Women on Media: ‘You are so Beautiful’ a Case Study. Insight – Information. 3 (3), 45–47.
Yiwen Xia is currently planning to undertake PhD research—we wish them every success in their future work!
