About Beth’ Research:
My research interest is primarily in visual history and gender studies. I am interested in the interaction between colonial and colonised cultures, and the intersections between gender and national identities. My PhD research explores nudity and the female body in media, arts and popularised medical science during the Republican Period in China (1911 – 1949) in the context of feminism, semi-colonialism, and a new transcultural medical discourse. I will consider the interaction and tension between culture and science in relation to their impact on women’s lives and gender roles.
