<DIV><SPAN class=125350917-26062009><FONT face=Arial>The newest member to the
listserv is Isaac Yue (<SPAN lang=EN><A
href="mailto:isaacyue@hkucc.hku.hk">isaacyue@hkucc.hku.hk</A></SPAN>). As
he explains, he</FONT><SPAN lang=EN><FONT face=Arial> began his career
as a Victorianist focusing on the <SPAN
class=125350917-26062009>r</SPAN>econfiguration of Victorian cultural identity
during the 1850s and 60s in his PhD thesis (King's College London). Since
then, his attention has turned to issues concerning intellectual and
cultural exchange between China and the West, mostly during the Qing dynasty, on
which he has written a few papers. His interest in the Song-Yuan
period was only developed recently when he decided to return to his
earlier interest in the topic of cultural identity. He am currently working
on a project that concerns the relationship between cultural identity and
vernacular stories. </FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
