Biography
I am a comparatist working across European and East Asian languages. My current PhD project studies contemporary Asian Diasporic and Sinophone fiction and film in the period of US-China interdependency. I am also invested in critical theory, especially in Marxism, psychoanalysis and critical race theory.
Prior to moving to the US, I completed a BA and MA (supported by the Australian government’s Research Training Program scholarship) at Melbourne University. I was given the top award in the class of 2022, winning the Percival Serle award for best thesis. Work from this research can be read at Critique: Studies in Contemporary Fiction. My work at Penn is supported by a George L. Harrison fellowship for 2023-2024.
