Tracy K. Lee commenced her study towards a PhD in the Gender Relations Centre, ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, in March 2007. A native of Hong Kong, Tracy received her first degree in Chinese and English-Chinese Translation from the University of Hong Kong in 2000. She worked as a journalist and editor after graduation and obtained a master’s degree in Communication Studies from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore in 2005. She is also a translator and writer for Chinese magazines. She has been accreditated by NAATI as a professional translator (English-Chinese).
She is currently completing a project on men’s magazines in contemporary China under the supervision of Dr Tamara Jacka. The study will be the first comprehensive scholarly research into men’s magazines in China. It is expected that, by employing both critical and empirical methods, it will shed light on the interpretation of gender and its interactions with mass media and popular culture in a time when China is rapidly merging into global capitalism.
Tracy is also a part-time teacher of Cantonese in the China Centre of the Faculty of Asian Studies.
