In 2012, she became a Lecturer at the Tibetan University of Nationalities, specializing in documentary and creative multimedia research and teaching. In 2021, Shuran Yang co-founded Maisten Technology Co Ltd, which provides augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technical support and solutions to commercial clients and research institutions. Her project experiences have made her emphasize the importance of immersive storytelling and user experience (UX) in immersive environments (such as AR, VR, and Metaverse). As a PhDcandidate in the Digital Humanities Lab, her research focuses on the UX of immersive environments in cultural spaces.

Research area:

This study is part of a larger European network, namely ELIT (The Empirical Study of Literature training Network). In this context, Cristina is an early-stage researcher investigating the effects that reading fiction has our lives in terms on the so called “sense of possibility”. The aim of her doctoral dissertation is twofold: identifying what kinds of self-modifying feelings are elicited by text-based fictional worlds, and examining how individual differences influence the way readers respond to the theme of counterfactuality in fiction.

In the present study, two research axes or perspectives have been identified to investigate Linked Open Usable Data (LOUD) for Cultural Heritage, the first axis focusing on community practices, i.e. assessing the mechanisms by which organisations, individuals and apparatuses are entangled in consensus-making, and the second on semantic interoperability, i.e. how to make data meaningful to machines in a standardised and interoperable manner. Examples of LOUD standards are the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) - especially the IIIF Presentation API 3.0, Linked Art and the W3C Web Annotation Data Model. The thesis is grounded as part of the Participatory Knowledge Practices in Analogue and Digital Image Archives (PIA) research project, which aims to develop a Citizen Science platform around three photographic collections of the Swiss Society for Folklore Studies (SSFS). The theoretical framework of the thesis is situated through and beyond an Actor-Network Theory (ANT) lens.

Digital games are one of the most influential media genre of the 21^st century. They create awareness for historical topics that are rarely covered in regular history class. With Discovery Tour, the studio Ubisoft has recently presented a game series specifically designed for educational purposes.

The study focuses on the empirical analysis of the effect of engagement with representations of the past. Is the historical content best conveyed by the digital game or can greater learning effects be observed with traditional media? The project aims to provide exemplary insights into a potential future of digital games in historical education.

The dissertation is dedicated to the question of (local) social changes and to what extent these are reflected in the Schnitzelbänke of the UNESCO Basel Fasnacht . The focus is on politics, the role of women, the military, sport, the economy, Basel's self-image and religion.
