Research Interests:
Professor Yang’s primary research explores how women poets in late-imperial China employed poetic forms to assert agency and negotiate social and political identities. Her award-winning monograph Women's Poetry and Poetics in Late Imperial China: A Dialogic Engagement (2017) investigates dialogues between women’s writings and male scholarly discourses, revealing innovations in aesthetics and self-identity. A second book project examines representations of women and history in Chinese cultural products, while a third offers a comparative study of British and Chinese women’s poetry spanning the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries.
Teaching:
She teaches Chinese language courses at all levels, as well as literature and culture courses delivered in translation, including Chinese-English translation practice.
Current Projects & Grants:
Two book manuscripts are in progress: a study of women and historical narrative in Chinese culture, and a transnational comparison of early-modern women’s poetry. Grant and funding details are not specified in the provided text.
