  • Asian American Feminist Collective (AAFC) is a grassroots racial and gender justice group based in New York City engaging in intersectional feminist politics grounded within our diasporic communities. We work to interrogate and dismantle systems of racism, imperialism, patriarchy, and capitalism and are deeply invested in abolition, queer liberation, cross-racial solidarity, and collective joy.

    Together and with our partners, AAFC curates community events, tells our stories through various modes of feminist media, and provides spaces for identity exploration, political education, community building, and advocacy.

    Asian/American feminism is a world-building project of endless love, solidarity, and imagination. The beauty of the Asian American feminist movement is that we can continue to shape and evolve it together, and we need you! Wherever you are on your political journey and whether or not you consider yourself an activist, we welcome you to come to an event, partner with us on a project or initiative close to your heart, and join our community of feminists building towards a brighter and more just future.

  • While completing my PhD in History and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Yale, I developed and taught advanced courses in American History that focused on topics including sex and sexuality, political economy, gender, and social movements.

    I also organized and convened several workshops and events, including the Women and Gender Studies Colloquium, the Franke Seminar on Race and Caste, and oral history projects.

    I have taught classes and workshops at the Museum of the City of New York, Green-Wood Cemetery, Ethel’s Club, and various private corporate groups.
