Hi, I am Linwei!

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Communication Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I earned my M.A. in Theory of Art and Culture (Artistic Communication concentration) from Nanjing University in 2025, and my B.A. in Musicology and Accounting from Xiamen University in 2022.

My research interests focus on:
1) Digital Platforms and Digital Cultures; 
2) Mediated Music and Sound Studies;
3) Feminist Media Studies.

I hope to use my research to amplify the voices of marginalized communities and to approach my scholarship with passion, warmth, and care. My past and ongoing research have focused primarily on qualitative research methods (e.g., semi-structured interviews, ethnography, app walkthrough method, critical media industry studies approach etc.)
