Description of research and teaching
In my doctoral research project, titled "Estranging Illusions: Alienation in Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction", I explore how contemporary Chinese SF stories can use the literary technique of estrangement to draw attention to the wider social structures that cause social alienation, as well as what kind of social commentary and criticism this results in.
