Kit Yee Wong is a French Studies postdoctoral researcher, who received her PhD in 2018 on illness as myth in the novels of the nineteenth-century writer Émile Zola. During her Associate Research Fellowship at Birkbeck, University of London (2018–23), she organised the international symposium ‘The Pathological Body from the Mid-Nineteenth Century to the Present: European Literary and Cultural Perspectives’ (2019, London) that focused on contributions across four languages (Spanish, Italian, German, French), and is editor of the accompanying open-access journal special issue at the Open Library of Humanities. She has published three articles on Zola, and was Associate Lecturer and Associate Tutor in both the French and English departments at Birkbeck, teaching on the novel, poetry, and critical theory. She was also instigator and co-organiser of five ‘Migrating Texts’ Modern Languages workshops (2014-19), focusing on the interrelations of translation, adaptation, and subtitling.
