Anqi Liu is a scholar specializing in modern and contemporary Sinophone and Chinese diasporic literature. She holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Intercultural Studies. Her research, grounded in the intersection of the humanities and social sciences, spans a range of topics, including transnational literary production, ethnic studies, digital humanities and media studies, and gender studies. Through this interdisciplinary lens, Dr. Liu investigates the shifting dynamics of identity, culture, and representation in the context of global China, with particular attention to how crisis-driven knowledge is produced and transmitted across spatial and political boundaries. She is currently working on her first monograph, which probes critical history, the politics of ethnicity, diasporic subjectivity, and Chinese femininity.

In her free time, she likes bouldering in different climbing gyms and running Mount Vernon Trail. She is now training for the 2025 SF Marathon.
