About
I am a PhD researcher in Translation and Transcultural Studies at the University of Warwick, supervised by Dr Caroline Summers and Professor Pierre-Philippe Fraiture. My research focuses on the translation of feminist crime fiction from English to Chinese, drawing on André Lefevere’s theory of translation as rewriting. I am particularly interested in how gender norms and literary conventions shape the representation of female protagonists in both source and target cultures.
Prior to starting my PhD, I completed an MA in Translation Studies at the University of Edinburgh and worked as a project coordinator in an international language service provider for two years.
Research Interests
Beyond my academic interests, I enjoy literature, creative writing, and exploring questions of cultural identity and narrative power.
