Hope this is not too late a self-introduction. Hi everyone, I am a historian and STSer on sound in twentieth-century China. I am completing a book manuscript on radio and the technopolitics of listening in Mao's China, investigating how the diverse use of radio produced new power relations there.
Look forward to this fantastic workshop in two days!
