I am a graduate student pursuing an M.S. in Kinesiology with an emphasis in the Sociology of sport. As a DOVE Fellow, I aim to conduct research that bridges knowledge and methodologies between Kinesiology, Sociology, and Asian American studies. My current work examines the scholarship in the Sociology of Sport relevant to constructions of Asia and Asianness and the sporting spaces, cultures, and bodies of Asian people. In centering transnational, postcolonial, and intersectional feminist perspectives, I explore questions surrounding the dynamics of power between East and West, Orientalist meaning-making of Asia and Asianness, and notions of Western citizenship and respectable sporting bodies.
