About Joshua Han
Joshua Han is a researcher in Musicology. He has a background in music composition, linguistics, social semiotics and multimodality. He was awarded his PhD in music semiotics from the Univeristy of New South Wales in 2022. He has teaching experience in visual communication and social media studies, and has also worked extensively as a researcher in discourse analysis.
Joshua's research focuses on music and movement from a multimodal and social semiotic perspective. His current research applies social semiotic multimodal analysis to music educational contexts, with a focus on how bodily movement is used as a semiotic resource in these contexts.
