Calvin R. Cheung-Miaw, Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor

I'm an historian of race who works at the intersection of intellectual history and social movement history. My current book project, Asian Americans and the Color-Line, uses the history of Asian American Studies to explore the rise and fall of Third Worldism within the United States. I'm also at work on a project on radical Asian American activism. A piece of this project, on transnational political murders, has been published as an article in Pacific Historical Review.
