Dr Seagh Kehoe

I am a Senior Lecturer in Chinese Studies in the School of Humanities. I joined the University of Westminster in 2019. Prior to that, I taught at the University of Leicester, University of Nottingham and University College Dublin.

I hold a BA in Chinese Studies and Sociology from University College Cork (Ireland), a MA in East Asian Politics from Leiden University (The Netherlands) and a PhD from University of Nottingham. I also studied Mandarin at Sichuan University (China), and Tibetan at the Rangjung Yeshe Institute (Nepal).

My research examines Chinese media representations of ethnicity and race, gender and sexuality, nationalism, and military. I have published in China Quarterly, positions, Media, Culture & Society, and Asian Ethnicity, and am co-editor of Cultural China: The Contemporary China Review 2020 and 2021. 

My research focuses on the cultural dimensions of social and political transformation in modern and contemporary China. I am especially interested in Chinese media representations of ethnicity and race, gender and sexuality, nationalism, and military.
