Graduate Program, Chinese Language Teaching Assistant Doris Xinyang Li is a PhD student in Comparative Literature, with a research focus on borderland studies, postcolonial ecocriticism, and transnational media cultures across East Asia and Latin America. Her work engages with questions of imperialism, colonial violence, environmental imagination, and the representation of frontier spaces in literature and film. She also examines the intersections of digital media technology and visual culture, with particular attention to AI-generated imagery, cinematic ethics, and genre transformation in Chinese-language cinema. She holds an M.A. in Chinese Studies from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and a B.A. from Fujian Normal University. Her current projects integrate post-structuralist theory, political anthropology, and media studies to investigate how cultural narratives travel, adapt, and acquire new meanings across geopolitical and technological contexts.
