- PhD, University of California, Irvine
- BA, MPhil, University of Hong Kong
Her work bridges historical analysis with theoretical inquiry in hermeneutics, aesthetics, and translation. She critically examines how emotional and sensory experiences were instrumentalized in political reform, especially through the figure of Liang Qichao. Her approach diverges from Western-centric affect studies by emphasizing indigenous Chinese philosophical traditions and marginalized moral discourses.
Tsui’s acclaimed monograph, Affective Betrayal: Mind, Music, and Embodied Action in Late Qing China (2024), argues that China’s political modernity emerged through a restructuring of internal moral and intellectual orders, using affective practices to reshape public consciousness. Currently, she is exploring the legacy of Wang Yangming’s moral philosophy in Qing intellectual culture and co-editing a volume on the cultural history of Confucianism covering the Ming and Qing periods.
She has no listed scientific awards in the provided text.
Tsui advises graduate students and has secured research funding for her projects, including editorial work on a major book series. Her collaborative work with Dr. On-cho Ng highlights her active engagement in scholarly networks and publication initiatives.

She is involved in significant editorial projects and continues to publish on the affective dimensions of political modernity in China.
