Wendy Wan-ting Wang

Wendy Wan-ting Wang (王琬葶) holds a Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Cultures from the University of California, Berkeley. She is interested in how media and technology entangle with human bodies and environmental relations across Chinese-language and imperial Japanese cultures. During her fellowship, Wang plans to work on her book manuscript that establishes an Indigenous-centered media history of Taiwan, demonstrating how Indigenous peoples transformed tools of colonial control into vessels for futurity. Parallel to this book project, she is developing a second project on distributed agency and networked care in queer and more-than-human kinships in Chinese-language literature and media cultures.

Research interests: Modern Chinese literature and media cultures; Japanese Imperial literature and cultures; film and media histories and theories; indigenous studies; environmental humanities
