Ziskind Professor of East Asian Studies
We offer interdisciplinary classes that are intersectional and transnational, with commitments to critical race and critical caste scholarship, queer theory and queer of color critique, disability studies, masculinity studies, indigenous feminisms, and transnational activisms. We stress feminist methods in our coursework and provide “real world” application of WGSS knowledge—from writing grant proposals to reading alternative archives.
