Reading the Future in the Past: Time, Prediction, and History in Early Chinese Historiography

Curriculum vitae

I received my PhD from UC Berkeley in 2009. My dissertation was entitled "Waiting for the Unicorn: Perception of Time and History in Early Chinese Writings." I specialize in early Chinese literature and thought, with a focus on historiography. My research includes the disciplines of literature, religion, history, visual arts, philosophy, archaeology, language, and anthropology. I am especially interested in the concepts of time and memory. I am also interested in modern Chinese literature and food studies. Since 2011, I have been working as Assistant Professor at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina. I teach courses on Chinese language, literature, and culture.
