I am an experienced teacher and have taught a wide range of courses in comparative ethnic studies, Asian American studies and US cultural history. Much of my research is about the reproduction of power; I teach in a way that subverts that reproduction through transparency and situating my classroom in the broader world. I emphasize inclusion with my students—I believe that their backgrounds are assets in their pursuit of knowledge.
