We are delighted to announce that Yuefan (Ivy) Wang has been awarded a 2025 Summer Research Fellowship for Specialized Faculty from School of Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics. Her project, “Her Identities in Pictorial Space: Women’s Writings on Garden Paintings in Qing China (1644–1911),” explores how writing about paintings that portray garden settings enabled women to assert their agency and construct new identities amid the sociopolitical transformations of late imperial China. As the concluding chapter of her ongoing book project, “Constructing Gardens on Paper: Gender, Identities, and Place-making in Late Imperial China,” this interdisciplinary study draws on archival research and digital humanities methods to explore narratives that straddle literary, visual, and spatial cultures. The fellowship is designed to support summer research by specialized faculty and academic professionals, as part of SLCL's commitment to their research progress. Two fellows are chosen for summer 2025 across the School.
