معرفی
Dr. Chi-Yun Shin is a Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at Sheffield Hallam University's Department of Humanities within the College of Social Sciences and Arts. She additionally serves as Marketing and Recruitment Lead for the Humanities Department. Her PhD from Exeter University focused on Black British diaspora cinema, establishing her dual expertise in East Asian cinema and diaspora film culture.
Her research explores:
- Contemporary East Asian cinema with emphasis on South Korean film (gender dynamics, genre evolution, transnational remakes)
- Black British and British Asian cinema of the 1980s-1990s
- Rooftop spaces as liminal zones in cinematic narratives
- Girlhood and fandom in South Korean television dramas
- Motherhood representations in Korean film through psychological frameworks
Recent publications demonstrate dominant themes in transnational adaptation studies (analyzing films like The Handmaiden), Korean Wave cultural impact, and genre hybridity in East Asian cinema. Her work consistently engages with postcolonial theory, gender representation, and cross-cultural reception.
Dr. Shin supervises postgraduate researchers including doctoral work on feminism in British comedy and Hong Kong identity formation. She maintains editorial roles at the Journal of Japanese and Korean Cinema and East Asian Journal of Popular Culture.
