Qiaomei Tang earns visiting fellowship at National Taiwan University

Associate Professor of Chinese and Japanese Qiaomei Tang was recently awarded a spring 2025 visiting fellowship from the Ying-shih Yü International Center for History and the Chinese Humanities (YCHCH) Visiting Fellow Program at National Taiwan University.

The fellowship award includes a living and research allowance of NT $300,000 (US $9214.75) plus air travel and office access, which will support Professor Tang during her 2024-2025 sabbatical, during which she will work on her current book project, Gender, Genre, and Jealousy in Medieval China. Arising from her doctoral research on divorce in early medieval China, this project provides a comprehensive depiction of jealousy (as depicted in diverse genres of writing, including literature, historiography, medicine, and religion) in China between the first and ninth centuries, and explores the way in which different genres of writing evolved to discuss specific gendered forms of jealousy.

Congratulations to Qiaomei on this award, and best of luck for a productive sabbatical!
