Lynda Ng works in the field of transnational studies. Her research encompasses Australian literature (with particular emphasis on Aboriginal literature), Chinese literature (especially diasporic literature) and postcolonial literatures (including J. M. Coetzee and Mohsin Hamid); and the intersection of economics and literature, with a focus on neoliberalism. She was a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in English at the University of Oxford, and in 2019 was awarded the Margaret Church Memorial Prize for the best essay published in MFS: Modern Fiction Studies the previous year.
