Selected Talks, Workshops, and Media<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I present regularly at universities and conferences across the United States, Canada, and Asia, speaking on Asian Anglophone and Asian American literatures, postcolonial theory, and the cultural histories of capitalism. My work often considers how literary forms help us make sense of global economic and cultural change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I welcome invitations for talks, workshops, and media appearances, and I\u2019m especially interested in opportunities to bring conversations about Global Asia and Asian America to broader audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
