Principle Research & Creative Activity

Besides teaching, I spend much of my life reading, writing literary pieces and critiques and translating books and articles from Chinese to English and vice versa for publishers and journals in the United States, China and Taiwan. My research and teaching interests include topics in Chinese language and culture, intellectual history, literature, and tradition and modernization. I am also experienced in curriculum development and texts compilation.
