Cara Healey is Assistant Professor of Chinese and Asian Studies in the Modern Languages and Literatures Department. She earned her Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies with an additional emphasis in Applied Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Dr. Healey’s research situates contemporary Chinese science fiction in relation to both Chinese literary traditions and global science fiction. Her current project approaches Chinese science fiction from the perspective of generic hybridity, focusing on the ways texts combine, subvert, and reinterpret conventions of various genres.
Dr. Healey also translates Chinese-language fiction.
At Wabash, Dr. Healey teaches Chinese language courses as well as a variety of Asian Studies courses on history, literature, film, and culture. Her courses are often cross-listed with Film and Digital Media, Gender Studies, and History.
