My research focuses on Chinese fiction, religion and Chinese literature, and Daoism of the late imperial China (14th-19th centuries). I am currently exploring the religious dimensions of Ming novels. My teaching interests include Chinese culture, the late Imperial Chinese literature: the religious dimensions, pre-modern Chinese fiction in translation, and third-year Chinese.
