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 on social media platforms, digital intimacy, and post-feminist media culture. My work has appeared in Information, Communication & Society, Sociological Research Online, Mass Communication Research, The Journal of Information Society, Cultural Studies Quarterly, and other leading journals. I also contribute to edited volumes and write book reviews.
I teach media, gender, and qualitative methods. My students have received national honors, including the NSCT Research Grant, the MoFA Short Film Competition, and the Best Paper Award at the TCA & TAIS Conference. My teaching has also been recognized with three Teaching Excellence Awards and an Outstanding Mentor Award at NYCU, and HEA Fellowship.
As an active member of the academic community, I review articles for leading journals and conferences, and serve on committees for media competitions. I also provide consultancy for corporate workshops and closed-door meetings. Outside academia, I share my insights on gender and media literacy through press interviews, blog posts, and invited talks.
