Currently doing research on the livestreaming industry in China and beyond, with particular attention to VTubing. Especially interested in policymaking and the power dynamics among governments, platforms, intermediaries (particularly livestreaming guilds), and streamers, and how these dynamics shape platform economies and labor conditions in the livestreaming industry.
