About
Jace Jung is a second year Ph.D. student in English Language and Literature at the University of Michigan. His research is on Asian American and global Anglophone literature, the homeland/hostland binary, and posthuman conceptions of race, identity, and belonging. His research examines how posthuman and environmental discourses enlighten the indeterminacy of race and identity by looking at the homeland/hostland binary that continues to blur with the constant movement of people and culture across the Pacific, pollutants and food that are imbibed by human and nonhuman bodies, and figurations of mythological animals in Asian and Western cultures.
