Dr Fung obtained his PhD from the University of Manchester. His research focuses on the intersections of literature, philosophy and film, which can be reflected in his book-length study of the nineteenth-century Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. Dr Fung is currently working on irony as a mode of existence in the work of Schlegel, Kierkegaard and Paul de Man. At HSUHK, apart from modules on the long nineteenth-century, he teaches a course on the relationship of money and literature.
