I am an interdisciplinary scholar of race and migration trained in American studies and gender & sexuality studies. My first book The Chinese Century and the City of Gold: Racial Capitalism After Whiteness, forthcoming in fall 2024 at Duke University Press, is an ethnography of contemporary Chinese world-making in Johannesburg, South Africa that explores the reconfiguration of race, capitalism, and empire underway in the 21st "Chinese Century" and their historical entanglements with Euro-American empire-making and global racial hierarchies. My work has been published in Scholar & Feminist Online, Radical History Review, International Journal of Cultural Studies, Public Culture, and Verge, as well as edited volumes Anxious Joburg: Space, Affect, and Experience in a Global South City (Wits University Press/NYU Press, 2020) and New World Orderings: China and the Global South (Duke University Press, 2022), and online in Anthropology News and The Chronicle of Higher Education. My research has been funded by the Social Science Research Council and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research and supported by the Centre for Indian Studies at the University of Witwatersrand. Since arriving at Dartmouth in 2018, I have been involved with the Asia/America working group, the Consortium of Studies in Race, Migration, and Sexuality, the South-South Forum, and serve as the advisor for the Sexual Assault Peer Alliance and Spare Rib Intersectional Zine.
