Doctoral Student in Asian Languages and Cultures
About
Before joining the University of Michigan, Anran Han earned an MSc in Intermediality: Literature, Film, and the Arts in Dialogue from the University of Edinburgh and an MPhil in Traditional East Asia from the University of Oxford. His interdisciplinary training has informed a broad range of research interests encompassing various kinds of literary and artistic media, spanning both premodern and modern periods, as well as diverse cultural contexts across East Asia, Europe, and America. Building on this background, he is currently working on a project that brings media theory into conversation with the study of late imperial Chinese literary and artistic culture, with a particular focus on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century theater. His additional research interests include the relationship between literature and philosophy, the cultural history of dreams, film spectatorship, and the digital humanities.
