I am an Americanist who specializes in multi-ethnic fiction and film of the United States, especially Asian American and Pacific Islander literature. I also have research and teaching interests in nineteenth- and twentieth-century American literature, critical theory, gender and sexuality studies, and transnationalism and globalization. Currently I am writing a book entitled Feeling Multiracial: On the Cultural Politics of Emotions and Mixed Race in Global America. My manuscript examines the ways in which representations of mixed race people in consumer culture and in literature express anxieties about life in the United States under globalization. I am also working with Filipino studies scholars on a book that examines the formative roles of imperialism and colonialism in the Philippines and in the diaspora of Filipino people. The collection engages with theoretical debates in Asian, Asian American, postcolonial, and globalization studies.
