Dr David J. LEBOVITZ
Department of Chinese Culture
Assistant Professor
Dr David Lebovitz is a philologist of early Chinese texts and traditions. He studies Chinese literature, intellectual history, and the formation of texts in manuscript culture, especially during the Warring States through Han periods (c. BCE 450–220 CE). In particular, Dr Lebovitz’s primary monograph project uses newly unearthed manuscript materials from the Warring States to illuminate collections, conceptions, and genres of verse formed during this time period, especially in relation to the canonisation of the Shijing, or Classic of Poetry.
Dr Lebovitz’s work has been supported by Fulbright, Fulbright-Hays, and Taiwan Ministry of Education funding. He has held fellowships and visiting research posts at Wuhan University, Tsinghua University, and Hong Kong Baptist University, where he was previously a postdoctoral research fellow.

Dr ZHAI Mingjun
Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies
Research Assistant Professor
Dr Zhai Mingjun is a research assistant professor in the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies. Dr Zhai was trained in Cognitive Neuroscience at Rice University. Her core area of research is in understanding cognitive and neural representations underlying our ability to process words and concepts, with a particular emphasis on understanding the different levels of representation involved, how they interact, and how the representational structure changes with language experience and in different contexts. Her approach to these questions largely relies on connecting behavioural and brain measures of similarity between stimuli and the similarity structure generated from well-established computational theories of how information is coded at different levels of representations. She is also involved in ongoing projects examining: a) the impact of cross-linguistic differences on conceptual processing; b) language processing and learning in social interaction. Her works have been published in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, Scientific Reports, and Cognitive Science.
