Her research interests touch on a range of topics in modern Asian art and visual culture. Her recent article examines the Communist legacy in modern Chinese art, with a focus on the Long March Project (Third Text, 2012), and she has studied the interactions between Chinese, Japanese and Indian artists in the early 20th century for the online project MIT Visualizing Cultures. She is currently working on a book manuscript on the practices of imitation and appropriation in modern Chinese art, which is based on her Ph.D. dissertation.
