Wendy Sun is Assistant Professor of German Studies at ΢ÃÜÆƽâ. She holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature along with dual M.A. degrees in English, Comparative Literature and World Literature, and a B.A. in Chinese Studies.

Her research explores transnational memory, trauma, and exile, with a focus on Jewish refugee communities in wartime Shanghai and the cultural politics of Holocaust memory in Asia. She engages the intersections of gender studies, feminist theory, and postwar European literature, especially the writings of Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan. Her recent interests include environmental humanities and the ethics of AI-assisted translation in literary and creative practice.

Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Feminist German Studies, RMMLA Review, Chinese Independent Cinema Observer, Journal of Critical Studies in Language and Literature, Advances in Literary Studies, Humanities (MDPI), Jianghan Academic Journal, and several edited volumes. She is also co-editing Memory and Trauma in the Sinophone World (Amsterdam UP).

She is currently completing two monographs: one on Jewish exile in Shanghai (under contract with Brill), and a bilingual study on ethical witnessing, feminist poetics, and historical trauma in postwar German literature (under contract with Nanjing University Press).
