Research Interests: Dr. Zong specializes in environmental humanities and decolonial ecopoetics, examining migrant/refugee narratives through climate change, multispecies ethics, and toxic injustice frameworks. Her work interrogates Asian diasporic identity, migrant women's agency, race, and cosmopolitanism across transnational contexts. The forthcoming monograph Planetarity from Below: Decolonial Ecopoetics of Migration and Diaspora (University of Michigan Press, 2025) analyzes eco-literature and eco-cinema from Australia, North America, and China.
Scientific Awards: No awards or fellowships were documented in the provided materials.
Advising and Grants: While specific advisees and funding sources aren't listed, Dr. Zong actively curates interdisciplinary projects including VR exhibitions and journal special issues. Her co-edited Decolonising Asian Diasporic Ecocriticism (ARIEL journal) demonstrates scholarly leadership. Current grants likely support her eco-art initiatives given their scale and institutional partnerships.
Labs and Teams: She collaborates extensively with HKU's Medical Ethics and Humanities Unit on digital storytelling projects, notably Bovine Calling (2023) and Healing Atmospheres (2024), merging environmental health humanities with climate vulnerability research through immersive technologies.
