Maria Sibau Receives Fulbright Award

Dr. Sibau was awarded a Fulbright Scholar award to conduct research at National Taiwan University in Taipei, Taiwan, during the 2025-2026 academic year. Her research project explores the literary representation of mother figures in late imperial China. The fragmentation and fungibility of motherhood as portrayed in fictional and dramatic texts call for a more nuanced understanding of kinship, gender, and popular imaginations about filial piety and the patriline in premodern China.
