Her major research field is classical Chinese drama with main focus on Yuan zaju and Ming-Qing chuanqi concerning literati’s metaphoric qu writings and the theatrical culture/performance interweaved through actors, audience, publishers and critics. Her research also includes how the contemporary traditional drama has been inherited and invented in modern theatre. She is currently executing two projects both on course improvement and student nurturing through theatre studies funded by the school and by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan. Her latest interest is in early English sinologist’s translation strategy of Yuan drama, as well as in the variety of “adaptations” of dramatic text/performance across genres, cultures, and times.
