Fields:
China, late imperial and modern, cultural and social; medicine and science, gender and the body
I am an intellectual and cultural historian whose work has over the years moved back from the late l9th and 20th centuries to Ming-Qing period and beyond. My abiding interests are found in the cultural studies of science and gender both together and separately. My current projects include an edited volume on "Thinking With Cases: Specialist Knowledge in China's Cultural History" and an exploration of the neo-Confucian body through the life and work of Zhu Zhenheng, a 14th century physician.
