I am a Ph.D. candidate from the Department of English at West Virginia University. I am currently working on my dissertation “Mourning and Haunting in Irish Gothic Fiction from the Victorian Era to Modernism.” I presented my paper, “Understanding Personal Ambivalence and Historical Transformation from Joyce’s Ghosts in Ulysses” in “British and Irish Literature High-end Forum and Symposium” held by Shandong University, China in Nov. 2018.
