About

I am an assistant professor of Screen Cultures in the department of Radio, TV, Film, at Northwestern University with affiliate appointments in Comparative Literary Studies, Documentary Media, 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.
