Dr Mei-fen Kuo left Taiwan in 2003 to undertake a PhD thesis in Australia. In 2008, she was awarded a PhD degree by La Trobe University and in 2009 she won an internationally competitive Australian Endeavour Award. From late 2010 to September 2013 she was an Australian Post-doctoral Fellow in the School of Social Science at La Trobe University. In her book "Making Chinese Australia", Mei-fen has made a significant contribution to research on Australian history through her pioneering study of Chinese Australians from a diasporic perspective. Her bilingual research skills have allowed her to make full use of detailed but rarely consulted primary sources that are only available in Chinese. Her research adds much depth to knowledge of the Chinese-Australian urban elite in a transnational setting, and forges a dialogue between international and diasporic Chinese studies. Dr Mei-fei Kuo currently is a lecturer of Contemporary Chinese Culture and History at Macquarie University.
