Cornelia Bogen, Associate Professor at USC-SJTU Institute of Cultural and Creative Industry, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, P.R. China, is a scholar of Media and Communication Studies whose research focus is health communication. Her PhD thesis identified three main structures (contradiction, sensationalism, self-reference) that characterize how health and illness have been presented since the emergence of mass media in Western and Central Europe. Since 2010, she has been investigating intercultural aspects of modernization processes, by studying the impact of new media on the current transformation of doctor-patient interaction and public health discourses in China.
