DPhil Politics

My research interests broadly revolve around feminist philosophy, anti-carceralism, and critical theories of state power. My doctoral work focuses on the feminists of the Asian American Movement. Relying on archival work and interviews, I push against the notion that there has never been a distinct Asian American feminism and draw out the Movement's theoretical contributions for philosophies of race, work, and gender.

I completed my MPhil in Political Theory with Distinction at The Queen's College, University of Oxford in 2023. My MPhil thesis, "Between Carceralism and Community," was awarded the inaugural MPhil Thesis Prize in Political Theory. I graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor's in Philosophy in 2020 and also hold a Bachelor's in Social Science from Sciences Po.
