LEE Sze Wah Sarah

Dr Sarah Lee earned her PhD in English and Comparative Literature from Goldsmiths, University of London. She researches in the field of modernist studies with a focus on the transnational exchanges between Anglophone and European writers and artists in the early twentieth century. She explores how these Continental and transatlantic artistic networks traversed both national and cultural borders as well as artistic media to develop and promote avant-garde aesthetics in Anglophone works of art, taking an interdisciplinary approach with main focuses on literature and the visual arts. She is also interested in promoting quality of life through literature, and the study and appreciation of English language and literature in cross-cultural settings. She has taught literature, linguistics, and EAP and ESP courses to English major and English Education double degree students at various universities in Hong Kong, and has published on modernist and comparative studies, digital pedagogy and philosophy of technology.
