Wu is an Associate Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU and a former BKC fellow (2023–24).
During her fellowship year, she worked on a regulatory and cultural history of Chinese media and digital technologies from the early 1980s to the present. That book, News as Utility: Media, Platforms, and System Management in China, is now nearing completion. As a faculty associate, Wu will pursue several collaborative projects on technology and AI governance in contemporary China. She will also lead a broader research initiative examining the global formation of national mobile internets, with a focus on how local economic, infrastructural, and regulatory conditions give rise to distinct information environments.
