Dear colleagues and friends, Hope your week is off to a good start! Please join me in welcoming a new member to the SSYCDS listserv, Dr. Deborah Del Gais. Below please find Deborah's self introduction. Welcome to our community! Deborah Del Gais is currently an Associate at the Harvard University Asia Center. She graduated from the City University of New York and received her M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. degrees from Yale University. At Yale she studied Chinese art history and wrote her dissertation on Li Gonglin’s Nine Songs handscrolls. She has worked as a professional editor, most recently for the Publications Program at Harvard’s Asia Center (2012–23). Prior to serving in that position she was the Curator of Asian Art at the RISD Museum in Providence (1994–2009). Her publications include early articles based upon her dissertation research and articles and notes that grew out of her museum research. Now that she is retired, she is looking forward to completing her research on Li Gonglin’s Five Horses handscroll. Sincerely, Ya Zuo Secretary, Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasties Studies
