Weiling Deng

Biography

Dr. Weiling Deng is Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at Champlain College. She currently serves as the Core Division’s Third Year Faculty Lead and helps developing the new curriculum of Digital Humanities. Weiling received her Ph.D. in Social Sciences and Comparative Education from UCLA. Her research and teaching interests span a wide spectrum of interdisciplinary fields, which include Global Asias, Urban Humanities, comparative and international education, human geography, gender and feminist studies, technology and race, postcolonial theory, and postsocialist studies. Weiling emphasizes place- and project-based experiential learning and promotes transnational thinking of Vermont primarily through immigration, diaspora, border, and urban space.

Weiling is currently working on two book projects. The first book, co-authored with Dr. Jonathan Banfill of Champlain College, Los Angeles-based artists Sara Velas and Ruby Carlson, focuses on panorama museum as a critical form of public humanities and art. It challenges the Euro-American convention of panorama production by way of incorporating 20th-century Soviet and Chinese techniques of visual historiography and grounding museum-making in feral DIY Los Angeles art scenes and landscaping. This book releases the study of panorama from its traditional field of art and media history to embrace critical, grassroots, and community-oriented creation of alternative art space in a postcolonial Californian metropolis.

Weiling’s second book develops from her dissertation to examine the creation, transportation, and readjustment of feminist and gender empirical knowledge, with a special focus on transpacific and digitally mediated Chinese feminist and queer activism. It questions the eclipse of race in contemporary Chinese feminist and queer narratives by the binary state-activist approach and maps these narratives between postcolonial and postsocialist feminist works. This book maps the place-based tension instigated by the trans-lingual, transnational, and transmedial practice of the concept of “gender” onto the post-Cold War geopolitics of liberal academic knowledge production.

Weiling’s work has been published on South Asian Review, Verge: Studies in Global Asias, Panoramic and Immersive Media Studies, Los Angeles Review of Books, and academic anthologies including Postcolonial and Postsocialist Dialogues: Intersections, Opacities, Challenges in Feminist Theorizing and Practice.
