Part-time Lecturer in Chinese
Fall 2019 Office Hour: Thursday 1:45-2:45
As a scholar of literature and political thought, TU Hang’s research interests center on cultural and intellectual debates in contemporary China. His dissertation is titled “Revolution Remains: Literature, Thought, and Memory Politics in Reform China.” It explores how the “remains” of communist revolution—as literary practice, mediated memory, and political imaginary—have profoundly shaped China’s cultural and intellectual transformations from the late seventies to the twentieth-first century. In addition to this, he is also working on topics including modern Chinese aesthetics and religion, political theology, and a history of China’s Christian colleges.
Tu earned his B.A in English at Sun Yat-Sen University, and received his MA degree from University of Washington in Seattle. He is currently completing his Ph.D. at Harvard University.
