Professor, Department of English
My academic scholarship focuses on the settler imperial genealogies of contemporary US culture. I am currently working on a manuscript that examines the intersections of nineteenth-century US Indian removal policies and anti-Asian exclusion laws and their cultural afterlife in contemporary discourses around race, property, and security. I am also working on another project that examines race, gender, empire, and craft, retracing an alternative genealogy of contemporary craft discourse by way of the nineteenth century industrial education movement, Indian boarding schools, and the inculcation of handicraft in US imperial outposts.
In addition to my academic scholarship, I also have also worked in grassroots community media. I co-founded and co-produced APA Compass, an Asian Pacific American public affairs radio program, and I was a regular contributor to The Asian Reporter.
On the PSU faculty since 2001.
