Biography
Haihong Yang is Associate Professor of Chinese Studies and Asian Studies at the University of Delaware. She specializes in Chinese women's literature and culture and literary translation. Her book Women's Poetry and Poetic in Late Imperial China: A Dialogic Engagement (Lexington Books, 2017) examines women-authored poems and poetic criticism in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties. In this book, she explores the poetic forms and devices women poets employed and analyzes how they asserted their own agency to negotiate their literary, social, and political concerns. She also investigates the interactions between women's poetic creations and existing male scholars' discourses and probes how these interactions generated innovative self-identities and renovations in poetic forms and aesthetics. She has published essays in Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews (CLEAR), Tamkang Review, and Nan Nü: Men, Women, and Gender in China. Currently she is working on two book manuscripts one of which is about women and history in Chinese cultural products. The other project is a comparative study of British and Chinese women's poetry in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries.
Haihong Yang's teaching interests include Chinese language classes of all levels, and courses of Chinese literature and culture in translation. She is currently offering a courses of translation between Chinese and English.
