Assistant Professor in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Cultures,
Barnard College/Columbia University.
She received her M. A. (1998) from George August University (Göttingen, Germany) and her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2004.
Her interests include thought and literature (particularly poetry) of pre-modern China and Japan.
She is completing a book manuscript that recaptures the development of pre-Qin philosophy as a history of the traditional genre of “Masters Literature” [zhuzi baijia].
Her second book project, entitled “In the Footprints of Others: Latin and Early Japanese Writers and their own Literature,” examines how early Japanese and Latin authors wrote their literature through and against Greek, respectively Chinese, precedents.
With Prof. Wang Yong (Institute of Japanese Culture, Zhejiang Gongshang Daxue, Hangzhou, PRC) she is collaborating on a book project entitled “The East Asian Book Road and the Development of Sino-Japanese Poetry.”
Her publications include “’Topic Poetry is All Ours’—Poetic Composition on Chinese Lines in Early Heian Japan,” in: Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies 67.1 (2007), “Writing History in the Face of the Other: Early Japanese Anthologies and the Beginnings of Literature” in: Bulletin of the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities 76, and “Chinese Antiquity and Court Spectacle in Early Kanshi,” in: Journal of Japanese Studies 30.1 (Winter 2004). |
