Gillian was most recently a postdoctoral researcher with the ComProp project (2016-2017). Gillian previously completed a DPhil at the Oxford Internet Institute, studying the effects of the commercialisation of online spaces on their ability to offer a venue for political speech in different political systems, focusing on a comparison of the U.S. and China. Before the OII, she completed a double masters in Global Media and Communications jointly between the media and communications department at the London School of Economics and Political Science and the journalism school at Fudan University in Shanghai. With a BA in photojournalism and political science, Gillian worked in the media industry in the U.S., U.K. and China as a writer, photographer, multimedia producer, editor and production director before returning to the UK to pursue further education.
