Kathy Ooi received her PhD in English at the University of Auckland, New Zealand in 2010. Her thesis, Reorientations: A Critical Study of Chineseness in New Zealand Literature, examined the discursive shifts in New Zealand literary representations of Chineseness over time and provided a rereading of Chinese-New Zealand historiography. She has been a guest lecturer in the School of Asian Studies at the University of Auckland and in the Department of English at the University of Waikato, where she currently tutors. She has published on the reception of works by Maori and Chinese-New Zealand writers and on representations of Chinese bodies in New Zealand literature. Her research interests include Chinese-New Zealand writings and identities; multiculturalism and diasporic studies; New Zealand literature, national identity, and historiography; settler discourse; and postcolonial literature.
