In all aspects of my scholarship—research, teaching, and
community engagement—I explore the overlapping and mutually
reinforcing discourses of gender, race, class, and nation, and how these
discourses have advantaged some and disadvantaged others in United States
society. In my teaching and research
I focus on United States cultural and social history with an emphasis
on women’s experiences, the development and shifting of gender
ideologies, racial identity formation, immigration policy and the formation
of national identities. My book, The China Mystique: Pearl S. Buck, Anna
May Wong, Mayling Soong Chiang and the Transformation of American
Orientalism will be published
by the University of California Press in Spring 2005. I am currently working with JACL Arizona
and members of the Japanese American community on an oral history project
about Japanese Americans in Arizona.
