Teaching
I teach courses on Asian diasporic and Asian American literature, anglophone literatures from Asia and the Pacific Islands, postcolonial theory, and literary theory. I have won teaching awards at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I strive to create a classroom dynamic where students learn from each other as peer intellectuals and, ideally, find the process of learning together fun.
If you are a student seeking a letter of recommendation...
Send me an email, detailing:
-
the programs to which you are applying
-
some of the papers you have written in my classes
-
your resume
-
a draft of your personal statement/statement of purpose
-
a sense of what strengths you think my letter should speak to
PLEASE NOTE: if you are applying for graduate school, medical school, or law school, it is best if you are making the request based on taking an upper division course with me.
