About

Stephanie Lu is a PhD candidate in the Department of English Language and Literatures at UBC. Her dissertation, “Speculative Forms of Political Belonging in Early Twentieth-Century American Plague Fantasies,” examines how turn-of-the-century authors questioned the eugenic rhetoric of biological purity through their imagination of apocalyptic mass contamination.

Before joining UBC, she completed a BA in English and Comparative Literary Studies at Northwestern University, where she wrote a paper on adaptations of the legend of Mulan. Born into a Chinese diasporic family, she has lived and worked in the U.S., Singapore, and Canada.
