Her interdisciplinary research interests include Chinese arts and literature, particularly gendered images, women artists, women patrons, text-image relationships, and theories of representation. She has published articles about Chinese women in the arts, art historiography, and pictorial arts—painting, woodblock printmaking, photography, and video—from the Song dynasty (960–1279) through the contemporary era. She is the author of Song Dynasty Figures of Longing and Desire: Gender and Interiority in Chinese Painting and Poetry (Brill, 2018).
