Andrew Hui is a distinguished faculty member in the Department of English, Linguistics and Theatre Studies at the National University of Singapore. As a literary scholar, he works at the intersection of philology and history of ideas, studying the movement of knowledge—how ideas migrate, traditions fracture, archives expand, and new forms emerge. His research spans English Literature, Medieval and Humanistic Philology, Comparative Literature, Renaissance Studies, and the History of Ideas.
Hui's research interests focus on the material and conceptual dimensions of knowledge transmission. He has made significant contributions to understanding Renaissance libraries, the poetics of ruins, and the theory of aphorisms as a literary form. His work reveals how fragments, ruins, and short sayings serve as powerful vehicles for intellectual history and cultural continuity.
His publications demonstrate a consistent trajectory exploring how intellectual traditions transform across time and cultures. From his groundbreaking work on aphorisms connecting Confucius to Twitter, to his studies of Renaissance ruins and libraries, Hui examines the spaces and forms through which knowledge is preserved, transformed, and transmitted. His recent writings extend these concerns into contemporary contexts, examining connections between Renaissance studioli and modern podcast studios.
Hui maintains an active scholarly profile with publications appearing in top journals including Critical Inquiry, Modern Language Quarterly, and Dante Studies. His books published with prestigious university presses have established him as a significant voice in literary and intellectual history.
As an educator at the National University of Singapore, Hui contributes to the development of future scholars in literary studies and related fields. His interdisciplinary approach bridges historical and contemporary concerns, offering students valuable perspectives on the enduring questions of how knowledge forms, transforms, and persists across cultural boundaries.
