I am a Professor in the department of Arts and Humanities at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, where I have been working since the fall of 2004. I work on comparative studies with a particular focus on Chinese and Sinophone literatures and cultures. I occasionally translate. My latest book is about the representations of China in the West in the early twentieth century. You can find more about me here. I don’t do social media, but I’m happy to share occasional updates and glimpses of my workroom here.
