Interests: My research and pedagogical interests are both in the areas of modern Chinese and Taiwan language, literature, and culture, with particular emphasis on essay writing, Chinese lyricism and emotion, and the literary legacies from China’s Republican period in postwar Sinitic-language communities. I am particularly interested in understanding the affective affordance of literary forms in varying contexts. My work has primarily focused on essay writing and its role in shaping and negotiating sensibilities and social values in Taiwan, particularly during the island’s transition to democratization toward the end of the Cold War era.
