Biography, Education and Training

My current research focuses on the visual culture (contemporary art, architecture & mass media) of the Arctic, particularly Svalbard Archipelago, and its geopolitical implications for global collective memory.

I have designed, taught, and guest-lectured for, courses spanning the visual culture of memory, technologies of respresentation, activist art, the history of photography, the politics of asian american visual culture, the holocaust in a digital world, and writing about place.

I am currently a researcher for An Aesthetics of Resilience, a collaborative art-science climate justice intiative through UCSC's Institute of Arts & Sciences and the Friedlaender Lab.
