ABOUT ME

I am Associate Professor and Director of the Program in Gender and Sexuality at Haverford College. I teach core courses in the Tri College Asian American Studies Program. I hold a Ph.D. in the History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies from the University of California at Santa Cruz. I am also a multi-genre creative writer. As such, I am a 2025 Voices of Our Nations Arts Fellow. Previously, I was an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Gender and Sexuality Studies Program at Bryn Mawr College. I have been a Visiting Scholar at the Beatrice Bain Research Group at the University of California at Berkeley and the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at New York University. I have served on the national boards of the Association for Asian American Studies and the National Women’s Studies Association. Prior to my arrival at Haverford College in 2022, I taught at Bryn Mawr College, Gettysburg College, the University of California at Santa Cruz, Keene State College, and Portland State University. I am a former member of the board of trustees and a former grantee (2007-08) of the Davis Putter Scholarship Fund.
