About

My name is Lee Moore, and I am the host of the Chinese Literature Podcast. I finished my PhD at the University of Oregon’s Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures in 2021. I wrote my dissertation on museums in China and broadly was interested nationalism and the role that it plays in museums. However, I am a sucker for Tang poetry and other things that have absolutely nothing to do with my research. My work has been featured in an array of publications including The Economist, Sup China, The China Guys, That’s Guangzhou and others. For more on me, check out my website:

Founder

Before it was just Lee, he was joined by Rob Moore. Rob and Lee cofounded the podcast in 2016 because they wanted to speak to a broader audience about Chinese literature. After he moved to France and began teaching English literature at a lycee outside of Paris, Rob decided to leave the podcast and focus on his current project, but he will forever remain the cofounder of this podcast.

Rob and Lee are not, as far as they know, related in the familial way.
