Image Description: This is a photo of me. I am gazing slightly downward and to the side of the camera, with my right hand resting gently on the side of my face. My hair is very short, mainly dark but with a reddish-purple tint. I am dressed in a greenish or blueish, knitted, short-sleeved sweater, and I am wearing a septum piercing as well as a small loop earring. Behind me is a solid mustard-yellow wall.

I am a PhD student in Philosophy and Gender, Sexuality & Feminist Studies at Duke University. My primary research interests are in feminist & queer & trans studies, critical disability studies, memory studies, and asian american & diaspora studies. I also have a deep fondness for Taoist philosophies, especially the beautiful and hilarious philosophical text Zhuangzi.

You can find out more about my research here.
