Scott W. Gregory is a scholar of Chinese literature, with special interest in early modern vernacular fiction and its intersection with the culture of print. His book Bandits in Print (Cornell University Press) concerns different print manifestations of the sixteenth-century work The Water Margin (Shuihu zhuan) and the reading practices surrounding them. He has also published on how novels of the Ming Dynasty conceived of their own historical era. He obtained his PhD from Princeton University in 2012. Before coming to Arizona, he spent two years as a visiting fellow at the National University of Singapore. He has also lived in Taipei and Kyoto.

Dr. Gregory is also Director of the Center for East Asian Studies.
