About

I am a first-year joint PhD student in Translation and Transcultural Studies at the University of Warwick and Monash University, under the supervision of Drs. Qian Liu (Wariwck), Mila Milani (Warwick), and Lintao Qi (Monash).

Research

My research combines Bourdieu’s sociology with actor-network theory (ANT) to examine how human and nonhuman actors, with different volumes and forms of capital, interacted under various field conditions in building up networks that produced and disseminated English translations of Jin Yong’s martial arts fiction—which, despite its immense popularity and canonisation in Sinophone communities, remained rather obscure in the English-speaking world until the recent publication of The Legends of the Condor Heroes (trans. Holmwood et al., 2018-2021).
