Bei Cia is an associate professor of Communication Studies at ����ɫ��ҹ University at Stark. Her research interests include intercultural/international communication, intercultural gender studies, Chinese political communication, and instructional pedagogy. 

Her research interests focus on intercultural communication, gender studies and Chinese political communication. She was born and grew up in China and came to pursue graduate studies in the US. This real-life cross-cultural experience allows me to be an outsider and an insider for both the Chinese culture and the U.S. culture. Therefore, some of her scholarly research compares Eastern and Western perspectives on gender studies, as well as on how the mainstream U.S. media represent cultures and nations different from the U.S. Given the profound change in China in the past three decades in the fast globalizing world, her new research examines such topics as how the one-party Chinese government manages its legitimacy in the post-Communist era, China’s environmental rhetoric and policymaking, emerging business culture, and Western commercial culture’s influence on Chinese.
