Iris Zhang

Field: East Asian Religion
Advisor: Michael Como
Email: iris.zhang@columbia.edu

Iris Zhang is a PhD candidate in premodern Japanese religions. With an interest in the interplay between speech acts and religious rituals, her research project focuses on the use of chanting practices in late Heian Japan. In her dissertation, she analyzes how lay people perceived ritually formatted language as efficacious and how chanting practices were integrated in the quotidian life of the populace. Her second ongoing project is an extension of her M.A. thesis, which examines the deification of Murasaki Shikibu at Ishiyama Temple near Kyoto, Japan. Iris received her B.A. in Economics with a minor in East Asian Studies from University of California, Los Angeles and her M.A. in EALAC at Columbia before joining the PhD program.

Faculty Award

Professor Theodore Hughes receives the 2019-20 Humanities War & Peace Initiative Grant

Theodore Hughes has received the 2019-20 Humanities War & Peace Initiative Grant for his book project, “The Continuous War: Cultures of Division in Korea.”

Here is a brief description of the book:

The Continuous War: Cultures of Division in Korea underscores both the specificity of the Korean War and its effects and the broader circuits of texts, images, and ideas that moved through the Asia-Pacific in the 1950s. Examining literary and filmic representations of the Korean War in South Korea, North Korea, and the US, The Continuous War opens up the ways in which the Korean War—at once a civil war and an international conflict—played a central role in the formation of global cold war culture.
