Academic career

Lee received his undergraduate degree in modern and classical Chinese at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in 1979, and his PhD from the same institution in 1985. He also studied political economy and Chinese literature at Peking University (1979-1981, 1982-83) as a British Council Scholar, and was a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences's Institute of Literature in 1985-86.

Lee formerly taught in the United Kingdom at the University of Cambridge and later the University of London, before occupying posts as an assistant professor at the University of Chicago (1990-1994) and at the University of Hong Kong (1994-1998), where he taught comparative literature. A specialist in Chinese and comparative literary and cultural studies, his more recent work is in the realm of comparative cultural history, specifically in the fields of Chinese diaspora and transcultural studies. He joined the University of Lyonin 1998.

Writings

Lee's first book "Dai Wangshu: The Life and Poetry of a Chinese Modernist" was published by the Chinese University Press (Hong Kong, 1985), which earned him praise for his "fastidious scholarship". [citation|url=http://www.jstor.org/pss/495071|title=Dai Wangshu: The Life and Poetry of a Chinese Modernist by Gregory Lee|last=Allen|first=Joseph R.|journal=Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Review|volume=13|date=December 1991|pages=166-168] His second book "Troubadours, Trumpeters, Troubled Makers: Lyricism, Nationalism and Hybridity in China and Its Others" was published by C. Hurst & Co (London) and Duke University Press (1996). In addition to exploring the imbrication of poetry and politics, the book revealed Lee's interest in breaking down the notion of Chineseness. His continued interest in, and interrogation of, "Chinese identity" is evident in the title and substance of his third book "Chinas Unlimited: Making the Imaginaries of China and Chineseness"(Routledge and Hawai'i UP, 2003).

Other activities

Lee has also been a frequent radio broadcaster on China and the Chinese diaspora. His most recent radio appearnce was on the Duncan Barkes Show on City Talk 105.9 on 1 April 2008 when he was interviewed on the question o "China-Bashing and Tibet". In 2005 he wrote and presented BBC Radio 3's Sunday Feature "Liver Birds and Laundrymen" [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/sundayfeature/pip/vi4vx/] (2005) in which he revisited the story of Europe's oldest Chinatown, Liverpool, and interrogated dominant British perceptions of the Chinese. He has also translated works of a variety of Chinese works, including those of contemporary poet Duo Duo ("Looking Out From Death" Bloomsbury, 1989; "The Boy Who Catches Wasps" Zephyr, 2002), Dai Wangshu, and Nobel laureate Gao Xingjian ("Fugitives", a controversial 1989 play). Additionally, Lee serves as director of the Institute for Transtextual and Trancultural Studies and of the International Institute for Diasporic and Transcultural Studies at Lyons and Liverpool Hope universities, editor of the journal Transtext(s)s-Transcultures, and heads of the Chinatown Project, which aims to establish a Research Centre and Museum of Chinatown experience in Liverpool.
