    About

    Dr. Constance Chen received her Ph.D. in History from the University of California, Los Angeles. Exploring the development of Asian Pacific histories and cultures within a transnational context, her research interests include comparative racial and gender discourses, museums and art collecting, and the politics of visual culture. Dr. Chen's work has appeared in the Journal of Asian American Studies, Amerasia Journal, the Journal of American Studies as well as other journals and anthologies. One of her current projects examines the ways in which cross-cultural encounters shaped the development of ethnic-racial identities in nineteenth- and twentieth-century China, Japan, and the United States.
