Dr Chloe LEUNG Ho-yee（梁皓怡博士）

 

Dr. Chloe Leung holds a PhD from the University of Edinburgh, specializing in Modernist Literature. Her thesis investigates how modernist works (Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, E.M. Forster, and Jean Rhys) deploy free indirect discourse to disentangle “illness” and “disability” from medical/scientific paradigms. Her latest article examines how un-speak-ability in Woolf moves away from an ableism that restricts sense-making intelligence. In addition to modernist studies, Dr. Leung is also interested in dance studies. She has examined how balletic movements contribute to Woolf’s representation of death in an article “A Rhapsody for Tuesday: Undercurrents in Virginia Woolf’s The Waves (1931) and the Royal Ballet’s Woolf Works (2015)” (2022).
