Academic background
I completed my PhD in dress & diaspora studies at London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London, in 2025. My PhD explored how dress impacts the formation of diasporan ethnic and cultural identity within the Chinese diaspora in the UK. I was awarded a Techne Doctoral scholarship for this project, funded by the UK Arts & Humanities Research Council.
