I am Elizabeth C. Small Professor of English and affiliated faculty in Critical Race & Political Economy at Mount Holyoke College. I am also a faculty member of the Five College Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program. My research focuses on Asian North American literature and visual culture; settler colonialism and racial capitalism; Marxist theory and queer of color critique. I am the author of Alien Capital: Asian Racialization and the Logic of Settler Colonial Capitalism (Duke University Press, 2016). I coedit the book series Critical Race, Indigeneity, and Relationality for Temple UP and the journal Critical Ethnic Studies. My current research focuses on colonialism, racial capitalism, and logistics.
