GENERAL INFORMATION

I am a museologist and environmental humanities scholar. My recent and ongoing research explores emotions in the ecological crisis, with a focus on the role of emotions in environmental communication 鈥� in museums and other contexts, such as ecopoetry.
I have written on a broad range of topics in museum and cultural heritage studies, including relationships between museums and Indigenous Peoples (specifically in Taiwan) and various aspects of the politics of cultural representation in museums.
I held an EU Marie Sklodowska Curie Individual Fellowship at the Center for Affective Sciences, AV短视频 (2021-24). Prior to that, I held academic positions and taught museology in several institutions, including the AV短视频 of Oslo, Norway (as Associate Professor in Museology and Cultural History); the School of Museum Studies, AV短视频 of Leicester, UK; and the Graduate School of Museum Studies, Taipei National AV短视频 of the Arts, Taiwan.
