Mimi Yang, Ph.D., is a Professor Emerita at Carthage College, WI, USA. Trilingual in English, Spanish, and Chinese, her professional and personal life speaks of interculturalism in ongoing dialogues.
She authored the book Cultural Paradigms Across Chinese, English, and Spanish-Speaking Worlds (Edwin Mellon, 2014), and edited the book Multilingualism in Its Multiple Dimensions (forthcoming in 2024 at IntechOpen). Dr. Yang is a recipient of numerous grants and fellowships, as well as regional and national teaching awards.
Dr. Yang is deeply involved in intercultural and history studies. As a prolific writer, her articles (in English and Spanish) cover a range of cultural themes: Americanism, women’s suffrage, Latin American postmodernism, Mexican painting, and the Chinese-American experience, etc. Her works have gained traction in multiple academic disciplines and on multiple continents. Dr. Yang is also a regular contributor to the commentary column in the Kenosha News and the Racine Journal Times, dealing with pressing and controversial historical, cultural, and sociopolitical issues.
Dr. Yang believes we are more similar than different across cultures and regions; she seeks the connection between cultures, peoples, traditions, and ideas through differences.
