Research
My M.A. paper examines the social exclusion of 2nd gen East Asian and South Asian American men from women’s romantic preferences. I explore how they construct dating preferences in response to their perceived undesirability as Asian American men in romance. My next project will examine how Taiwanese elites perceive the threat of China’s forced reunification and their decision to stay or flee.
