Wei-Ping Chen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication and Technology at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan. With a Ph.D. in Sociology from EHESS – École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, France, her research spans technology-mediated intimacy, sociology of emotions, sociology of consumption, audiences and popular culture, critical data studies, and feminist media studies.

Wei-Ping Chen’s academic publications include the book Keywords in Emotion and Gender Culture for Generation Z, as well as journal articles and book chapters in communication, sociology, and cultural studies. Her recent work explores the interaction between emotions and consumer culture on social media platforms, the construction of intimacy, and platform visibility and aspirational labor among micro-celebrities.

In the interplay of algorithmic cultures and intimate lives, I find the gendered narratives that shape our understanding of technologies, the self, and others.

What I do

I lead research projects focused on social media platforms, digital intimacy, and post-feminist media culture. My work has been published in Sociological Research Online, The Journal of Information Society, and Cultural Studies Quarterly. I’ve also contributed to various edited volumes and review articles for journals such as Information, Communication & Society and Cultural Studies.

I teach media, gender, and qualitative methods. My students have achieved national honors, including the NSCT Research Grant, the MoFA Short Film Competition, and the Best Paper Award at the TAIS Conference. My commitment to teaching is also recognized through multiple awards at NYCU, such as two Teaching Excellence Awards and an Outstanding Mentor Award.

As an active member of the academic community, I review articles for leading journals and conferences. I also help out as a committee member for media creation competitions and offer consultancy for corporate closed-door meetings. Outside of academia, I enjoy sharing my insights on gender and media literacy through press interviews, blog posts, and invited talks.
