My research interests lie in comparative Chinese modernisms and research topics that derive from it. My study has focused on the reception of modernisms in various geographical settings in Greater China, namely, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Shanghai, and Macao, over the past decade. Three GRF projects related to comparative Chinese modernisms, have been funded by the UGC (Hong Kong) and one Academic Research Grant funded from Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government since 2014.
I have produced numerous research outputs on this area in monographs, edited volumes, peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and is affiliated with the European Association of Chinese Studies (EACS), International Comparative Literature Association (ICLA), the Association of Chinese and Comparative Literature (ACCL), and the Modernist Studies Association (MSA). Students are welcome to contact me to discuss the research areas they are interested in.
