Sunhay You

Sunhay You is a transnational feminist scholar who examines the political and ethical implications of Asian/American cultural formations and phenomena, especially as they articulate erotic desires and pleasures in the aftermath of colonial-imperial violence. She is currently working on a monograph tentatively titled The Uses of Revenge, which examines how representations of vengeful Asian/American women track unexpected interethnic and interracial intimacies in the aftermath of US imperial interventions in Asia. These representations at once clarify and unsettle distinctions between friend and foe to negotiate the ways US empire induces states of complicity. Her research has been published in American Literature and Post45 Contemporaries. 
 
Growing out of her research interests, her teaching provides students with a transnational and feminist orientation to Asian/American literature and studies.
