Michael Salgarolo is a Faculty Fellow in NYU's Department of Social & Cultural Analysis, where his research examines race, migration, and empire in Asian American contexts. His award-winning dissertation, 'Transimperial Histories and Racial Formations in Filipino Louisiana, 1860-1949,' traces Filipino settlement patterns and racialization processes across imperial transitions.
Salgarolo employs archival methods to reconstruct histories of early Filipino communities, including developing the 'Blood and Water' walking tour documenting Brooklyn's Filipino settlement history. Current projects explore how imperial legacies shape contemporary racial formations and migration experiences.
His research has received support from NYU Center for the Humanities, Tulane University's New Orleans Center for the Gulf South, and the A/P/A Institute at NYU.
