European views toward East Asia before 1900
I have published 6 peer-reviewed monographs with international university presses since 2001, including On Saving Face: A Brief History of Western Appropriation (Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, 2022); Embassies to China: Diplomacy and Cultural Encounters Before the Opium Wars (Singapore: Palgrave Macmillan, 2017); Becoming Yellow: A Short History of Racial Thinking (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011)(also translated into Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean; forthcoming in Turkish); The Story of a Stele: China's Nestorian Monument and Its Reception in the West, 1625-1916 (Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, 2008) (forthcoming in Traditional Chinese); The Pretended Asian: George Psalmanazar's Eighteenth-Century Formosan Hoax (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2004); and Sexual Shakespeare: Forgery, Authorship, Portraiture (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2001). I have also coedited Early Encounters Between East Asia and Europe: Telling Failures (London: Routledge, 2017) with Ralf Hertel of the University of Trier in Germany.
These works have given me an international reputation and have also increased the international visibility of National Taiwan University and the Taiwan academic community generally. All of these works received funding from National Science and Technology Council. I have been approved for 26 National Science and Technology Council research projects and have been awarded 4 short-term research grants (twice to the US, once to the Netherlands, once to the UK). My publications have received numerous books awards from National Taiwan University as well as the Academia Sinica Book Award in 2013 for Becoming Yellow. That book was also the recipient of a Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Publication Subsidy in 2010. I have given numerous invited lectures abroad, been a visiting fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University (twice), School of Oriental and African Studies University of London, Pennsylvania State University, University of Hamburg, University of Am-sterdam, University of Utrecht, and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin.
I was awarded Taiwan citizenship in 2018 as a result of my contributions to Taiwan society.
