QIANYI QIN

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. In 2024, I was lecturer of philosophy at Smith College, Northampton, MA, where I am now research associate. My current research centers on the interactions between imagination and self: how different aspects of the self manifest in imagination, how imagination shapes the self, and whether we should be morally evaluated for our imaginative activities. Methodologically, I'm committed to a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach, utilizing multiple textual traditions and empirical studies.
