Welcome!
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Notre Dame. I earned my Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Cultures from the University of Oregon in 2018. My research and teaching focus on modern Chinese literature, film, popular culture, gender, and memory studies. My first book, Gendered Memories: An Imaginary Museum for Ding Ling and Chinese Female Revolutionary Martyrs, University of Michigan Press, 2025, explores the intersections of female martyrdom, national memory, and gender politics in modern China. I am currently working on a second book project, tentatively titled The Lure of Labor: Remaking Time and Space in Socialist China, and conducting research for a third project, Disability and the Socialist Body in Chinese Literature and Film. I am also writing a public-facing book, Long 2008, which examines 2008 as a crucial moment in the transformation of U.S.-China relations and the broader global order.
