Biographical Sketch／簡介

Lin Hsueh-Yi’s research is concerned with two aspects of intellectual change, the first surrounds identity and historical memory as well as their ideological underpinnings, and the second centers on the transmission and institutionalization of values in historical context. Dr. Lin is a scholar of late imperial China, with a special interest in the sociocultural processes in which ethic codes were promoted, circulated, and materialized. Currently she is finishing a monograph on loyalism, examining its development and reception in China within the nexus of intellectual, political, and military history from the seventeenth to the twentieth century.

Before joining the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Dr. Lin worked at the Academia Sinica, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the National University of Singapore. She has taught a wide range of courses from Classical Chinese, Confucianism, commerce and medicine in China, to crime fiction in English and Chinese. At the Polytechnic University, she will be teaching courses on the cultural history of travel as well as on storytelling and popular stories in premodern China.
