ABOUT 'ZOERIIES'

Zoe Li is a PhD candidate and Sessional Academic at the University of Sydney’s Department of Media and Communications. Based in the Sydney Games and Play Lab, her research explores Virtual YouTubers (VTubers) and their gendered labour. In 2024, she completed her undergraduate thesis (First Class Honours), investigating how they construct diverse gender representations and empower their audiences. Zoe’s focus remains passionately rooted in feminist games studies, with a keen interest in digital identity and interactive media. She hopes to continue expanding our understanding of VTubers and their profound impact on modern digital culture.
