Huiqiao Yao

I am presently serving as an ASIANetwork and Luce Foundation Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in East Asian Religions at Trinity University. My doctoral dissertation, titled "Popularizing the Sage: Wang Yangming and Vernacular Confucian Hagiographies in Late Imperial China," was successfully completed at the University of Arizona. During my time there, the interdisciplinary East Asian Studies program and robust faculty mentorship significantly contributed to my scholarly growth and teaching expertise, aptly preparing me for my upcoming endeavors. After this fellowship, my aspiration is to secure a tenure-track position in East Asian Studies or a closely related field, where I can continue to contribute to both scholarship and education.
