My current research focus examines the intersection between the arts and contemporary social justice. I am examining the historical basis for the use of the arts in social justice movements and exploring how this might have shifted or evolved in contemporary discourse.
During my freshman year, I researched U.S. and Japanese relations post-World War II as portrayed through film under the supervision of Dr. Christina Owens. I had a specific focus on the portrayal of the American ninja and the archetype’s connections to white saviorism, cultural appropriation, and a variety of other factors that may have influenced the relationship between the aforementioned countries.
How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader?
I hope to impact my students as a UROP Leader by leaving them with one new curiosity they hadn’t entered class with. Research is all about finding intersections and commonalities between your passions and interests, and if students leave my class with one new question or curiosity they didn’t enter with (just as I left UROP with a newfound interest in film) then I’ll feel fulfilled in my position.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar, reading, and going to the gym. I serve on the executive boards for the American Student Union and South Asian Student Association and would highly recommend students get involved in those spaces if they are interested!
