My current research and teaching interests center on modern and contemporary Chinese literature and film, the modern transformation, commercialization, and consumption of classical Chinese aesthetics, aesthetic theory, and theory of emotions and subjective agency. I also earned M.A.s in sociology and in English literature. From 1992 to 1995, I taught sociology as a senior lecturer at Southeast University in China. From 1997 to 2003, I taught literature classes at UC Berkeley as a graduate student instructor, and in 2003 as a lecturer. These classes focused on issues of gender, sexuality, the ideology of landscape, cosmopolitanism, and modernist subjectivity in modern Chinese and Western literature and cinema.
