Food Nostalgia in the Lower Yangzi Delta

Jin Feng, professor of Chinese, will research her book, Food Nostalgia in the Lower Yangzi Delta, during her 2015–16 sabbatical. Her project will explore the tension between China’s drive toward modernization and its increasing turn toward cultural conservatism by studying the representations and reinventions of culinary traditions in the lower Yangzi delta. She has been awarded a scholar grant from the Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange for this project.
