Biography, Education and Training
Manning is a Ph.D. candidate in the History department at UCSC. After acquiring her first Ph.D. in comparative studies of world religions in Hong Kong, she continued her studies on Confucianism and early-modern Qing China by focusing on the politics of Chinese music and tradition-making. To experiment with a worldview that works away from the Eurocentric narrative, she designed and taught a course on the world history of Christian missions in the summer of 2023. Built upon her AI training from the University of Pennsylvania’s Dream Lab, she joined the Humanities AI Lab at UCSC to seek collaboration and develop her world history course into a digital humanities project.
