Xiaolin Duan (she/her/hers)

North Carolina State University, United States

Xiaolin Duan is an associate professor in the Department of History at the North Carolina State University. Duan studies socio-cultural history in medieval and early modern China, particularly urban history, popular religion, and visual/material culture. Her recently published book, The Rise of West Lake: A Cultural Landmark in the Song Dynasty, explores how sightseeing activities influenced the way people interacted with and conceptualized the natural environment in Middle Period China. She is currently working on a new book manuscript, An Object of Seduction: Chinese Silk in the Early Modern Trans-Pacific Trade. This project discusses the trade and fashion of Chinese silk by comparing it with the sericulture and silk regulation in New Spain during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
