Patricia Sieber is the author of *Theaters of Desire: Authors, Readers, and the Reproduction of Early Chinese Song-Drama, 1300-2000,* a cross-cultural history of the construction and reception of "Yuan zaju." Her current research project, *The Power of Imprints: Qing-Period Publishing and the Formation of European Sinology, 1720-1860* examines the role that books acquisitions by Europeans in China played in the formation of the literary canon of Chinese belles-lettres in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe. Other publications include an edited collection of contemporary women's fiction entitled *Red Is Not the Only Color* and articles on canon formation, visuality, and performativity in *Modern Chinese Literature and Culture,* CHINOPERL, *Monumenta Serica,* *Journal of Chinese Religions* and *Contemporary Buddhism" among others. She teaches courses on different facets of traditional Chinese literature, including courses on traditional Chinese novels & drama, the intersection of traditional & modern Chinese literature, and comparative literary relations. She has been a fellow at the Center for Chinese Studies, National Central Library (Taipei), at the Institute for Collaborative Research and Public Humanities (OSU), and at the Library of Congress (Washington, D.C.). Her research has been awarded funding from the NEH, ACLS, DAAD and the Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation among others. As principal project director for OSU's East Asian Studies FY 2006-10 National Resource Center (NRC) and Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) grants from the U.S. Department of Education, she currently serves as the director of OSU's East Asian Studies Center as well as the Institute for Chinese Studies.
