She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan (2001) and has published extensively, including Song Dynasty Figures of Longing and Desire (2018) and the co-authored textbook Asian Art (2015). Current research examines conceptions of women’s authorship in a 19th-century history of Chinese painters.
