Biography

Ph.D., Comparative Literature, Yale University, 1997
Curriculum Vitae (449.33 KB)

My research focuses on literary and visual practices, with emphasis on modern China and Taiwan—in architecture, advertisement, screen media, and stage arts. I inquire how texts and images form and manipulate our perception of space and history. My current research projects address new media in urban spaces, and cinephilia in the PRC. I am the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Chinese Cinemas. I founded the UW Summer Program in Chinese Film History and Criticism at the Beijing Film Academy (2005-11) and have served as the president of the Association for Chinese and Comparative Literature.
