QIANYI QIN

I hold a Ph.D. in philosophy from the Graduate Center, City University of New York. I've taught at Smith College, City College of New York, and New York university. My current research centers on the interactions between imagination and self: how different aspects of the self manifest in imagination, how imagination shapes the self, and whether we should be morally evaluated for our imaginative activities. Methodologically, I'm committed to a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach, utilizing multiple textual traditions and empirical studies.
