معرفی
Amy Tang is an Associate Professor in the Department of English and American Studies at Wesleyan University. She holds a B.A. from Harvard University (1994) and a Ph.D. from Stanford University (2009). Her research examines the intersection of aesthetic form and political discourse in Asian American literature, critically engaging with multiculturalism, identity politics, and minority literary traditions through frameworks like trauma theory, parody, and self-reflexivity.
Her scholarly work pioneers dialectical approaches to literary repetition as a method to navigate cultural impasses. She has held prestigious fellowships at humanities centers including:
- Wesleyan’s Center for the Humanities
- Stanford’s Center for the Humanities
- Stanford’s Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
Her book Repetition and Race: Asian American Literature After Multiculturalism (Oxford University Press, 2016) redefines the political scope of minority literature by analyzing how formal structures negotiate unresolved dilemmas of recognition.
