She has been a fellow at Wesleyan’s Center for the Humanities, Stanford’s Center for the Humanities, and Stanford’s Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity. Her recent publications include “Postmodern Repetitions: Parody, Trauma, and the Case of Kara Walker.” She is currently working on a book titled Repetition in Asian American Literature. Her research focuses on the relationship between aesthetic form and politics in Asian American literature as well as comparative analyses of Asian Americans, other minorities, and mainstream literature. In particular, her work analyzes Asian American texts as self-reflexive investigations of the conditions and limits of minority writing in the United States. Cynthia Wu
