About

I am an assistant professor in the department of Radio, TV, Film, with a core appointment in the Screen Cultures doctoral program and and affiliate appointments in Documentary Media MFA program. I am also affiliate faculty in the departments of Comparative Literature, Performance Studies and Asian Languages and Cultures. My academic research spans the histories of political cinema, nonfiction film, experimental film, and minoritarian visual cultures. My writing and teaching are anchored in the discourses of anticolonial thought, Marxist aesthetics, and Lacanian psychoanalysis.
