Dr Christine Yao announced as BBC New Generation Thinker

Dr Christine 'Xine' Yao (UCL English) has been named as one of this year's 'New Generation Thinkers' by the BBC and Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Each year the scheme gives ten early career academics, who have a passion for communication, a platform to share their ideas with a wider audience via BBC Radio 3 and other outlets. This year marks the scheme's tenth anniversary, during which 100 early career arts and humanities researchers, have had unique access to training and support from AHRC and the BBC. New Generation Thinkers alumni have gone on to become prominent public figures in their field as well as the face of major documentaries, TV series, and regular figures in national debate. Dr Yao hails from Toronto, Canada. She joined UCL in 2018 as a lecturer in early and 19th century American literature. She researches topics such as race science, feminist fashion, queer tarot, and anti-racist practices.
