- Research Interests
- Currently I am revising my dissertation into my book manuscript, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: The Politics of Asian American Women's Public Culture, 1930 to 1960. I focus on how Japanese American, Chinese American, and Filipina American women used movies, magazines, sorority membership, and beauty pageants to create an Americanized middle-class identity during an era of racial segregation and immigration exclusion.
