Qianting Lu
国際学部 専任講師

Biography
Qianting obtained PhD in English Literature from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Her research focuses on Asian diasporic literature and its linguistic and cultural idiosyncrasies in transnational and transcultural contexts; it situates the study of diaspora to broader conversations about global capitalism, (trans)nationalism, ethnicity, gender and cultural representation.
Her PhD thesis investigates how Chinese diasporic writers approach representations of China in the Anglophone world. Her work engages with critical discussions of (un)translatability, (self-)Orientalism, Occidentalism, and xenophone, and highlights the importance of Asian diasporic literature in interdisciplinary fields such as transpacific studies, migration studies, and ethnic studies, contributing to a deeper understanding of Asian diasporic communities.
