👋 Welcome
I am Lexuan Wang (王乐轩), a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Political Communication Studies, School of Government and Public Affairs, Communication University of China.
My research sits at the intersection of political communication and international communication, with a focus on information geopolitics, platform securitization, and party politics and political marketing. I am currently writing my doctoral dissertation on international political communication.
I have published 8 academic papers in journals including Politics and Governance and the International Journal of Communication, as well as 南京社会科学, 世界社会科学, and 社会科学研究. One article was reprinted in full by 中国社会科学文摘 (Chinese Social Sciences Digest).
