Event description:
Aimee Bahng is an Assistant Professor of English at Dartmouth College. She teaches and writes about transnational Asian/American literature, feminist science and technology studies, and queer theory. Her book, Migrant Futures: Decolonizing Speculation in Financial Times (forthcoming from Duke University Press), examines narratives of futurity across a range of platforms – from subaltern science fiction to the financial speculations of the 1%. The book asserts that a history of racial capitalism subtends visions of the future and to imagine otherwise demands an excavation of this history.
