Dear friends of the Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasties Studies, Please join me in welcoming another new member of the Song-Yuan Listserv, Dr. Birgitta Augustin! Below is the self introduction she kindly shares with us: Curator of ancient and pre-modern Chinese art at the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Prior to taking up the current position, I stayed at the National Palace Museum in Taipei as a J. S. Lee Memorial Fellow to conduct research on the collections related to the Yuan dynasty artist Zhang Yu (1283 - 1350). Formerly the associate curator of Asian art and acting head of the Department of the Arts of Asia and the Islamic World at the Detroit Institute of Arts, I also worked in the Asian Art department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. I received my Ph.D. from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, with research interest focusing on the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy of the Yuan dynasty. Wishing you all a good week there! Sincerely, Ya Zuo Secretary, Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasties Studies
