My first book, Territorializing Manchuria: The Transnational Frontier and Literatures of East Asia, is scheduled to be released by Harvard Asia Center publications program in Spring, 2023. The book received the First Book Award from Columbia University's Weatherhead East Asian Institute in 2022. In the book, I examine how the once-contested Northeast Asian frontier of Manchuria played a significant role in the formation and problematization of national literatures in multiple countries in East Asia. This book project has received generous support from ACLS, Japan Foundation, SSRC and Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation.

I am currently working on my second book project on Ethnic Korean literature in China. This book project has received support from an SSRC Collaborative Research Workshop on Asian Migration. I also guest edited a special issue for Prism: Theory and Modern Chinese Literature on Chinese literature across the borderlands with David Wang and Kyle Shernuk, published in 2021. My articles have appeared in Journal of World Literature, Prism: Theory and Modern Chinese Literature, Manchukuo Perspectives: Transnational Approaches to Literary Production, and Imagining Communities: Reading Contemporary China Against the Grain.
