Edward Gunn's teaching focuses largely on twentieth-century Chinese fiction and drama, film, cultural criticism, and popular
culture. He has worked in each of these areas with graduate students in East Asian Literature, Comparative Literature, Theater Arts,
and other fields. His current research is on the use of local languages in the media and literature of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
This study in fiction, reportage, and advertising, television, film, radio, and music draws on literary and cultural studies, the
sociology of culture, and philosophy of language.
