Dr. Lin Chang is an art historian currently working in the Department of Arts and Design at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. Her research interest includes Western landscape painting and topographic views produced between the eighteenth and the early twentieth century. She studied for her Master’s degree at the University of York, UK, and her PhD at University College London (UCL). She was also a visiting fellow at the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) between 2010 and 2012. In 2022, she was awarded Fulbright Senior Research Grant and started visiting the Department of the History of Art at Yale University in February 2023. During her seven-month visit, she explored how British topographic views as a cultural category (rather than just a pictorial genre) became more diversified in themes and more circulated due to social and cultural changes.
