Overview
Stephanie Sang is a PhD candidate in Literatures in English. She is currently reading and writing about Asian American imaginative histories especially attuned to material objects. Her dissertation, “Decomposing Asia America: An Emergent Method” develops a “decompositional” reading practice to analyze Asian American cultural production for its baser (and less transcendental) representations of the environment. Her research interests include Asian/American literature and culture, imaginative histories, material culture/object studies, and environmental humanities. Before coming to Cornell, Stephanie completed her MA in Anthropology at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa as an East-West Center Graduate Degree Fellow. She invites anyone with adjacent interests to connect!
