Research Interests

Dr. Lee's scholarly work explores the convergence of critical health communication, museology, and media studies. He focuses on immersive, multimedia approaches to health promotion, particularly through museum exhibitions and archival materials. By engaging with end users of interactive technologies, his research seeks to refine communication strategies and advance health equity. His 2022 curation of the "Health Promotion Then and Now" exhibition at the City Tech Library exemplifies this interdisciplinary approach, juxtaposing historical and contemporary health communication artifacts.

Recent Publications

His publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on health communication within museum contexts. Recent articles analyze cardiology exhibits through speech act theory, deconstruct maternity mandates in science museums, and investigate the deployment of alternative facts in air pollution communication. These works, published in journals such as Health Communication and World Medical & Health Policy, employ critical discourse analysis and communication frameworks to evaluate the societal impact of health exhibitions.
