Sinophone Studies Across Disciplines
Sinophone studies—the study of Sinitic-language cultures and communities around the world—has become increasingly interdisciplinary over the past decade.

Chinese Encounters with America
Chinese Encounters with America tells the stories of twelve women and men whose American experiences transformed their lives and influenced China’s trajectory, with a particular focus on the period after Beijing and Washington established full diplomatic relations in 1979.

When Words are Inadequate
When Words are Inadequate is a transnational history of modern dance written from and beyond the perspective of China.
