As a writer, scholar, artist, and educator, I grew up in Shanghai China where I completed my B.A. and M.A. in Chinese Literature and Comparative Literature at Fudan University (Shanghai, China). There, as an undergraduate student, I co-created a theatre company that still actively produces plays today. I finished my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at the University of California, Davis with designated emphases in Women and Gender Studies, Theatre and Performance Studies, and Critical Theory. 

My teaching and research interests are: history of drama and transnational performances, film studies, contemporary racialized women and queer writers, and Chinese language and culture. I am extremely grateful to live on Nex?wl¨¦lex?m (Bowen island) ¨C the land of the traditional unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations, and to enjoy hectic and beautiful family life while teaching and mentoring a young generation of thoughtful and inspired learners at °µÍø51.
