Jiahe Mei

Jiahe Mei is a Ph.D. candidate working on modern Chinese literature and media culture. Her research interests lie at the intersections of media technology, medical knowledge, and literary forms, drawing on critical disability studies to examine how perceptual norms were constructed and contested in twentieth-century China.
