Background
I received my Ph.D. from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. My research focuses on Chinese and Asian genders and sexualities as intersected with performance, vernacular literature, folklore, material culture, popular media, new technology and social networking, politics and social justice, religions and spirituality. I have published two books and numerous journal articles in North America, Europe, and China, and have taught at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, University of Waterloo, Syracuse University, University at Buffalo, and University of California at Santa Barbara. As a recipient of the SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship 2016-2018, I conducted postdoctoral research with University of Toronto. My monograph, Cross-Gender China: Across Yin-Yang, Across Cultures, and Beyond Jingju, was published by Rutledge in August 2017.
