Personal profile
Dr. Shi is a bilingual educator, researcher, and writer. Her research interests lie in contemporary poetics, life writing, service-learning, digital stories, and English language pedagogy. She has taught courses such as "Fiction and Life", “Introduction to Literature in English”, “English for Academic Studies”, Putonghua, "Stylistics and Rhetoric", and “Creative Writing”. Her team’s new service-learning course, “Storytelling for Understanding: Refugee Children in Hong Kong”, uses personal narratives as an instrument to facilitate deeper cultural learning and better community service.
Her teaching fuses both the practical side of language education and the critical/creative edge. Ultimately, she wishes to cultivate students to be empathetic humanists who have a global mindset.
She writes theatre reviews in Chinese, and creative nonfiction and poetry in English. She is currently a columnist for 2rulesofwriting, a U.S. based writer community, and a professional art critic for the International Association of Theatre Critics (Hong Kong).
An ardent lover of language and literature, Wen believes in the magic of words and their healing power; Language Collage, a magazine she debuts for the Division of Languages and Communication, practices this belief.
