work + teaching + conferences


research
I’m currently completing my PhD in Cultural Studies at the University of Melbourne. In my doctoral work, I research contemporary Asian American autofiction. Lately, I’ve been writing about racialised affect, racialised dissonance, and the diasporic subject’s right to opacity.

teaching + guest lectures
This year, I received a teaching fellowship in Cultural Studies at the University of Melbourne. Since 2019, I’ve been invited to present guest lectures across Creative Writing, Media Studies, Journalism and Cultural Studies courses, at institutions like CUNY, RMIT and the University of Melbourne.

conferences
I have presented both on my doctoral research and my editorial work for Liminal both in Australia and internationally. In 2024, I visited Seattle to present on Maxine Hong Kingston’s autofictive legacies at the Association for Asian American Studies conference, and was invited to attend the American Studies Program at the Salzburg Global Seminar in September.
