With the development of generative AI, we live in drastically shifting/deteriorating global labor conditions. As a female Chinese activist writer born in online fandoms and a PhD candidate in Writing, Rhetorics, and Literacies, I am currently delving into the interplay of public and activist rhetoric in transnational digital spaces within which people articulate, narrate, collectively make sense of and advocate for their labor conditions and living situations. This is my dissertation project.

I have also been working on developing interest-driven public writing pedagogy with my multilingual First Year Composition students in ENG 107/108, mentoring my students to write for the passionate public audiences in interest-driven sites and affinity spaces. I have studied the issues arising from public writing pedagogy; also, by framing these interest-driven sites as public spaces for local civic participation to happen, I am expanding the construct "activism" in incorporate the mundane and everyday life. 

My latest research interest concerns AI-human interactions. Specifically, I am interested in AI rhetoric, emotions and ethics. I have been collaborating with AI to roleplay and engage with creative writing.
