Ye (Odelia) Lu

Her research interests lie at the intersection of language, culture, race, and nation, particularly within the framework of the Asian diaspora narrative. She is also fascinated by the potential of video games as a vigorous medium for storytelling that conveys urgent messages and creates meaningful connections.

Her work has appeared in Sine Theta Magazine, Columbia Journal, The Margins, Epiphany Magazine, Samovar, and is forthcoming in Canto Aiiieeeee! Cantonese American Reverberations in Literature, Theater, Martial Arts, and Popular Culture. In 2023, she was awarded the Travel Fellowship by the American Literary Translators Association.

Lu holds a B.A. in creative writing and art history from Oberlin College and an M.F.A. in writing and translation from Columbia University. Before joining Duke Kunshan, she was an adjunct assistant professor of nonfiction at Columbia University and a visiting lecturer of English at Wellesley College.

陆叶的研究兴趣聚焦于语言、文化、种族与国家之间的交汇点，尤其关注亚裔离散叙事这一框架。她也对电子游戏作为一种充满活力的叙事媒介充满兴趣，认为它能传达紧迫的信息，并促成有意义的情感联结。

她的作品曾发表于《Sine Theta Magazine》《Columbia Journal》《The Margins》《Epiphany Magazine》《Samovar》，并即将在《Canto Aiiieeeee!：粤裔美国人在文学、戏剧、武术与流行文化中的回响》出版。2023年，她获得美国文学翻译家协会颁发的旅行奖学金。
