As a transnational queer feminist scholar, my interdisciplinary research employs a feminist and queer theoretical lens to ask questions about difference, inequality, power relations, and countercultures.

I have three distinct but connected areas of research
1. Analysis of gendered racial capitalism at a slant, using queer and feminist methods and theories
