I’m currently an Andrew W Mellon Fellow in the Humanities at the Asian University for Women in Chittagong, Bangladesh, where I teach literature, theory, and film studies courses. At the moment, I’m researching the use of more analog forms of protest and resistance, such as how activists and artists looked to disrupt and benefit from postal systems in the 1960s and 70s. While revising a novel manuscript titled Trade, I am also starting a fiction project on biopiracy and pharmaceuticals.
