Chun Chun TING is assistant professor in the Chinese Division in the school of Humanities at Nanyang Technological University. She is currently working on a manuscript on artistic activism in post-Handover Hong Kong. Focusing on how urban space and various efforts at place-making are contested politically and represented culturally in contemporary Hong Kong, her project aims to examine the urban condition that nurtures identity and citizenship, and explore the changing contour of the Hong Kong people’s political subjectivities.

Ting's research area includes Chinese cinemas and documentaries, Chinese and Sinophone literature, activist media, urban culture, social movements, and ecocriticism. She is currently writing on documentaries from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the literary works of Ng Kim Chew, and developing a project on how the shifting concerns with place in Chinese literature and cinemas intersect with the politics of nativism, heritage, and sustainability.

HC2015 Coming of Age in Modern China 青春书写与现代中国
HC2017 Writings on Place: Nativism, Ecology, Politics 地文誌: 从乡土文学到生态批评
