    Overview

    Dr. Anastasia Lin is a Professor of English at the University of North Georgia where she teaches multicultural literature. She also serves as Assistant Vice President, Research & Engagement, where she assists students in pursuing nationally competitive scholarships and oversees the Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities. Lin is engaged in service at the national and regional level; she serves as the secretary for MELUS, the Society for the Study of Multi-Ethnic Literatures of the US, and she as immediate past-president for the Georgia Undergraduate Research Collective. In this role, Lin led a UNG committee to host the 2018 and 2019 Georgia Undergraduate Research Conferences. For her continued service to the institution, Lin was awarded the 2019 Presidential Excellence in Engaged Leadership award.  

    Dr. Lin’s research focuses on issues of transnationality, identity, language, and literary cartography within multiethnic literatures. In her most recent project, Lin collaborated with John Dees (UNG ‘15) to digitally map Karen Tei Yamashita's Tropic of Orange. The project created maps for use in the classroom as well as inspired a number of similar undergraduate research projects in different courses. For her work in the classroom, Lin has earned both the Ann Matthews Purdy Outstanding full-time faculty member award, the UNG Teaching Excellence Award, and the UNG Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Award.
