About Sheng-hsun

Dr. Sheng-hsun Lee is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Languages and Cultures within the Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Queensland, serving as the Chinese Translating and Interpreting Major Convenor. He earned a Doctor of Philosophy and a Master's degree by coursework from Pennsylvania State University. As an applied linguist, he specializes in intercultural and public health communication, utilizing multimodal discourse analysis to investigate how language, gestures, eye gaze, and material objects co-construct meaning in social contexts. His earlier research examined language and cultural learning in multilingual settings, such as study abroad experiences and language classrooms. In recent years, his focus has shifted to public health crisis communication during the COVID-19 pandemic, involving analysis of over 600 hours of press conference recordings and more than two million public online comments to identify effective strategies.
