Professor Zeitlin's work combines literary history with other disciplines, such as performance, music, visual and material culture, medicine, gender studies, and film.  Her publications include "Historian of the Strange: Pu Songling and the Chinese Classical Tale" and "Shared Dreams: The Story of the Three Wives' Commentary on The Peony Pavilion." She is currently working on a book on ghosts and the Chinese literary imagination, and her research interests also include gender and sexuality and the intersection of literature and medicine, particularly the case history.

Professor Van Wyk's research focuses on early modern theater and performance, misemono spectacle shows, print and visual culture, disability studies, performance studies, and intersections between literature, theater, science, technology and medicine.

Professor Fox's work explores the intersection of literary and economic imaginaries in late imperial China. She is particularly interested in the ways in which literary genres helped late imperial audiences understand and negotiate an emergent global economy.
