Dr How Wee Ng
I am a Senior Lecturer with the School of Humanities. Prior to joining Westminster, I taught at Hull and SOAS, University of London, where I completed my PhD. Before coming to the UK, I was involved in theatre and worked as a part-time radio producer-presenter. Other working on a monograph examining the discourse on television drama censorship in postsocialist China, I am currently collaborating on a project that focuses on the decolonising the curation of Asian cinemas.
My research interests range from Sinophone film, media, theatre, visual culture to literature. A key aspect of my research examines the representations of audiences, censorship in Sinophone cinema and theatre, and in particular, the exclusionary politics of representation in relation to ethnicity, nationality, gender and sexuality. I am also interested in issues of cultural intervention, artistic autonomy, and the mediation of death and dying in theatre. More recently, my research includes Asian film curation and film education.
