I received my PhD in Chinese and Comparative Literature at Washington University in St. Louis (2007), and am currently a tenured associate professor in the School of Chinese, the University of Hong Kong. My research focuses on women’s literary and cultural production in late imperial China and draws from the newly accessible sources in the area to address broader issues in social and cultural histories in China, and in dialogues with studies of women and gender in cross-cultural contexts. I have completed two GRF projects and received the 2018/19 Humanities and Social Sciences Prestigious Fellowship. I am currently completing a third GRF project (“Women Diarists and the History of the Self: Towards a Dialogue in Methodology”). My future research is about gender and the “boundaries of knowledge” in early modern and modern China (“Ideas for Future Research” attached). My major research outputs include: Heroines of the Qing (2016, a study of women’s intervention in the construction of female exemplarity in Qing China; selections from book reviews attached); Spatial Imaginaries and Women Writers in Qing China (forthcoming, a study of women’s spatial and cultural claims driven by the largest-scale diaspora in early modern China); Five Diaries by Women from Early Modern China 近代女性日記五種 (2021, an annotated collection with an extensive introduction); and journal articles published in Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews, NanNü: Men, Women, and Gender in China, Modern China, Journal of Women’s History, Journal of Chinese Literature and Culture, 近代中國婦女史研究, 婦女研究論叢, 清史論叢, etc. My undergraduate courses include: CHIN1109 Introduction to Chinese women’s literature, CHIN2121 Prose up to the nineteenth century, CHIN 2145 Chinese theater during the Yuan, Ming and Qing periods, and CHIN 2146 The “sickly beauties”: gender and illness in late imperial China. I also supervise MPhil, MA, and Ph.D theses.
