Profile

Meera Lee is a faculty member of Asian American Studies Program at Hunter College, and is a Lacanian psychoanalyst licensed in New York State. Previously, she was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics at Syracuse University. She has taught courses in Asian American studies, Korean cinema, Korean literature, postcolonial theory, and race and sexuality. In addition to these areas, her research and writing focuses on psychoanalysis (with an emphasis on Freud and Lacan), critical theory and continental philosophy.

Lee is the editor of Lacan's Cruelty: Perversion Beyond Philosophy, Culture and the Clinic (Palgrave for the Lacan Series, 2022). Her academic writings have appeared in positions: asia critique, Verge: Global Asias, Telos and Tamkang Review, as well as an edited book Psychoanalyzing Cinema (Palgrave, 2012). Her translation from English into Korean has also appeared in the Korean literary journal, 21st Century Literature. Lee is the co-editor of the special issue for Symposium: A Quarterly Journal in Modern Literatures. Her Korean translation of the book, Jacques Lacan: The Basics (Routledge, 2024) by Calum Neil is forthcoming from Yeondoo Press, Korea (2025). She is completing a monograph, tentatively titled, What is a Father?: Essays on the Superego from Freud to Lacan.

Lee received her Ph.D. in English from Dankook University, Seoul, and was a postdoctoral fellow in the English Department and the Humanities Center at Syracuse University. While at Syracuse, from 2013-2017, she was co-principal investigator and project director of the Syracuse University & Cornell University Faculty Working Group (with Professors Emeriti Brett de Bary and Naoki Sakai of Cornell) on the workshop series "Critical Theory and the Global: The Politics of Translation," funded by the Central New York Mellon Humanities Corridor.
