research

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, Journalism and Cultural Studies courses, at places like the University of Melbourne, RMIT, and CUNY.

conferences
I have presented both on my doctoral research and my work for Liminal both in Australia and internationally. I am looking forward to visiting Seattle in April 2024, to present on Maxine Hong Kingston’s autofictive legacies at the Association for Asian American Studies conference.
