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 and teaching interest lies in developing cross-disciplinary approaches to women’s literary and cultural production in late imperial China, and fostering dialogues between studies of women and gender in China and the West. 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 plan is to investigate the “boundaries of knowledge” drawn by women in early modern and modern eras. My major research outputs include: Heroines of the Qing (2016; please refer to the attached book reviews); Spatial Imaginaries and Women Writers in Qing China (manuscript completed; a study of how the largest-scale diaspora in pre-modern China enabled women’s spatial and cultural claims); Five Diaries by Women from Early Modern China 近代女性日記五種 (2021; an annotated collection with an extensive introduction).  

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.
