Sophie Vlopp and Guangchen Chen

Sophie Volpp is professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures and Comparative Literature. She works in Chineseliterature of the 16th through 19th centuries, and is the author of Worldly Stage: Theatricality in Seventeenth-Century China (Harvard, 2011) and The Substance of Fiction: Literary Objects in China, 1550-1775 (Columbia, 2022).
Guangchen Chen's research is situated in the intersection between literary and material culture, with a focus on collecting as an epistemologically and politically disruptive practice, a topic he addresses in his forthcoming book Thing Lost, Thing Regained: Collecting Antiquity in Modern China.
