Anthropology PhDing @ Princeton University. I dish out hot takes on monkeys, urban development, and capitalism. Views my own. "Get in good trouble". She/her/they/them. https://kymberleychu.com
I'm honored to be organizing and presenting at our roundtable entitled "Asian/American Hauntings: Ghosts in/as
Multispecies Theory." With @radhikagovindrajan.bsky.social and Sophie Chao facilitating, we will contend with power dynamics of multispecies theory and racialized discourses of 'Asianness'.
