ZiFan Yang

I received my B.A. in East Asian Studies from the University of Toronto and M.A in Japanese from Stanford University. My research interests include modern East Asian fiction, cross-gender writing, translingual readership, and critical animal studies. For doctoral research, I intend to investigate human beings’ interpretive mechanisms towards non-humans, other human beings, and artistic expression. My recent publication includes a book chapter in essay collection Reading Desire in a New Generation of Japanese Women Writers.
