#CITYIMAGINARY #URBANHISTORY #GRASSROOTGOVERNANCE
I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Journalism and Communication, the Chinese University of Communication. I am interested in how power is re-imagined, re-interpreted and re-exercised by ICTs, and my research object is the smart city projects. For now, I have focused mainly on China, but I am open to discussing this question in other places in Asia. I wish to contribute to discussing the possibility of different urban futures through my research. Recently, I enjoy yoga and wandering around in MMORPG video games.
