Emily Ng is Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. Her work centers on madness and subjectivity, religion and cosmopolitics, and how historical worlds and wounds reverberate across geographies and generations. Her book A Time of Lost Gods: Mediumship, Madness, and the Ghost after Mao, which was awarded the Boyer Prize for Contributions to Psychoanalytic Anthropology, explores madness between psychiatric and cosmological registers, and personhood between generational impasse, crises of sovereignty, and haunting. Recently, she has been working on sensory experiences of the unseen across religious communities in China.
