Rebecca Scott’s research interests lie in the fields of modern Chinese political, social and cultural history, with a particular focus on the development of the political and popular cultural sphere in the 1950s and 1960s. Through the lens of an analysis of the production and distribution of lianhunahua (serial picture stories), a ubiquitous form of visual culture, her current research and book project explores how Party-State agencies, artists and distributors interacted and the ways popular culture mediums were published and censored at a grassroots level. Rebecca’s article on the development of “guerrilla vending” and comic distribution was published in Modern Chinese Literature and Culture in 2017.  Since completing her ESRC funded PhD in modern Chinese history at the University of Nottingham in 2016, Rebecca has lectured at the Universities of York and Nottingham. In September 2018, she joined the History Department at King’s College London as a Teaching Fellow and currently teaches both undergraduate and postgraduate modules of a research-led, comparative and methodological nature as well as more specialised modules on modern Chinese political, social and cultural history.
