About

Grace Kyungwon Hong is Professor of Gender Studies at UCLA, with a joint appointment in Asian American Studies.

Hong is the author of several books, including 'Death Beyond Disavowal: The Impossible Politics of Difference' and 'The Ruptures of American Capital: Women of Color Feminism and the Cultures of Immigrant Labor,' and she co-edited 'Strange Affinities: The Gender and Sexual Politics of Comparative Racialization.'
