Wei Mo is an associate professor in the International Education College at Shanghai Maritime University. Before joining the university, she obtained her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies from a joint degree program between Shanghai Normal University and the University of Victoria in Canada. Her doctoral research focused on the French Jesuit mission in Shanghai and their role in the aesthetic renewal during the city’s modern transition.
Her current research centers on the intellectual renewal of the Jesuits during Shanghai’s modern rise. Delving into various aspects of Jesuit history, such as their scientific projects, textbook publications, and sinological endeavors, she draws from scare historical archives preserved in institutions like the Zi-ka-wei Bibliotheca, Ricci Institute, and AFSI.
She has contributed to the field through a series of published articles, shedding light on the Jesuit mission in Shanghai during this transformative period and its wider significance.
