Qian's research interests and expertise include digital vigilantism, digital harms, creator culture, and digital culture in general. Her research intersects media studies and surveillance studies through lenses of critical theories such as feminism and post-colonialism. She is currently working on research projects studying how content creators negotiate their identities and manage their visibility in daily production practices in contemporary surveillance culture (including potential peer surveillance, platform governance, and state censorship), especially in transnational contexts.

My research focuses on two areas of citizenship.
1. Rights and citizenship in the virtual world - I imagine virtual spaces as expanding geographies, where norms, values, and communities of digital citizens are evolving. Social media platforms have become an extension of our cultures, polity, and economy. Every day millions of people around the world redefine cultural norms, assert their political identities, and monetize the platforms for gainful living. But who determines the nature of rights (especially the nature of the right to freedom of expression) on these platforms? Can the platforms which are controlled by monopolistic tech companies, truly be a space of citizenship much less responsible citizenship? How does a digital citizen who lives in a bubble shape their worldview? How do they reach out for varied forms of information to form opinions? Can they burst the information bubbles that surround them? These are some of the questions I explore while simultaneously entering into the rabbit holes of disinformation, digitally generated social movements, and circles of hate.
2. Construction of citizenship in the real world, especially in geographies that are becoming uninhabitable due to climate change. This is a work that I started during my doctoral studies at Edinburgh, and I continue to look at both online and offline citizenship (especially the question of citizenship -exclusion, and 'othering') from the lens of vulnerabilities in the face of climate change.
Both these strands of the scholarship allow me to explore how our future societies will develop, and who humanity might forever leave behind.
