Erin Yu-Tien Huang is Assistant Professor of East Asian Studies and Comparative Literature, and an executive member of Princeton’s Committee for Film Studies. She received her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature with a Graduate Feminist Emphasis in Gender & Sexuality Studies from the University of California, Irvine (2012). She is an interdisciplinary film scholar and comparatist working on the intersections of urban studies and Chinese cinema studies. Her work focuses on the cultures of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. Actively deconstructing “Asia” as a geopolitical and economic formation, she is interested in approaches that problematize the disciplinary boundary between East and Southeast Asia(s). Her research interests broadly include Chinese and international cinemas, film and media studies, modern and contemporary literature, socialism and postsocialism, histories and theories of Asian urbanization, global capitalism, gender studies, and critical theory.
