Susan Thananopavarn
Lecturing Fellow of Thompson Writing Program
I am interested in contemporary American literature, ethnic studies, Asian American studies, and Latina/o studies. My book, LatinAsian Cartographies: History, Writing, and the National Imaginary (Rutgers UP, 2018), examines how Asian American and Latina/o literature can rewrite dominant narratives of U.S. history. My next project will explore what I call “ethnofuturism,” or alternative speculative fiction by writers of color. Other areas of interest include the medical humanities, women’s and gender studies, and literature and the environment.
