I am an Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies at Yale University. My work explores the intersections of film theory, aesthetics, and race and gender studies, and focuses on 20th century American film, literature, and visual culture. My current project, “The Asiatic Logic of Film Noir,” writes an alternative history of noir and personhood in which racial form shapes the central concerns and legacies of Hollywood noir. My criticism on film and photography have appeared in The New Yorker, Aperture Magazine, Criterion, The New York Review of Books, The Point, and elsewhere. I write a column on film and the environment for Orion Magazine.
