Research Interests Modern Chinese literature and culture, translation study, feminist theories. Research Abstract The focus of my research is the literature and culture of late 19th to early 20th century China, a fascinating period that witnessed rapid changes in every aspect of the Chinese world. This period of great ideological and cultural fluidity bred a generation of independent thinkers.

I am specifically interested in seeing how women at the time understood and intervened in such changes of political system, cultural values and gender norms. As a Chinese scholar, part of my research attention is inevitably turned toward contemporary China. Recent Graduate Courses "Friendship and Mourning": addresses ethical, political and cultural dimensions of mourning and friendship, with special emphasis on such questions as how melancholia becomes the precondition for subjectivity, how mourning creates memory and community, and in what ways gender conditions the ways of mourning.
