Lucienne Loh is Senior Lecturer in English Literature in the Department of English. She works primarily in the areas of postcolonial literature and theory, particularly in the British context. She is interested in the intersection between literature and politics, especially around theories of racism, contemporary globalisation and transnationalism, all as legacies of the British empire. She is the author of The Postcolonial Country in Contemporary Literature (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013). With Alex Tickell at the Open University, she co-directs the British Chinese Studies Network. She is currently exploring new methodologies bringing literary analysis to bear on British Chinese oral history and narratives and works broadly on British Chinese writing in the 20th and 21st centuries. Her current monograph project examines the relationship between slave narratives written during the long eighteenth-century and contemporary Black British writing. With CNIW, she has chaired a number of events involving British Chinese and Chinese writers.
