Lingzhen Wang is a Professor in the Department of East Asian Studies at Brown University. She received her Ph.D. in East Asian Literature from Cornell University after completing her B.A. and M.A. at Nanjing University in China. Since joining Brown in 1998, Wang has established herself as an expert in modern Chinese literature and culture, comparative social theory, transnational feminism, and media studies. Her major research project focuses on the life writing of Chinese women throughout the tumultuous twentieth century. Wang is the author of 'Personal Matters: Women's Autobiographical Practice in Twentieth-Century China' published by Stanford University Press in 2004, which explores the narratives of lesser-known Chinese women writers and critiques mainstream discourses of history and literature while highlighting women's subjective experiences. Her recent book, 'Revisiting Women’s Cinema,' published by Duke University in 2021, examines the evolution of feminist film discourse and the sociopolitical context affecting women filmmakers in China from the 1950s to the 1990s. Wang's research also includes translations of Chinese women writers into English and studies on feminism's cosmopolitical implications in the modern world. She has received several fellowships and awards, including the Distinguished IWLC Visiting Professor at Tsinghua University in China and various fellowships from the Pembroke Center and Harvard University.
