About
Jace Jung is a second year Ph.D. student in English Language and Literature at the University of Michigan, working on Asian American and global Anglophone literatures and posthuman theory. His research focuses on posthuman conceptions of race, being, and belonging as informed by the sensorium, environmental entanglements, and animal and technological multispecies figurations.
Jace has previously presented his work at the 2025 Association for Asian American Studies (AAAS) Conference, 2026 Modern Language Association (MLA) Convention, and 2026 American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) annual meeting.
Jace currently serves as a co-coordinator for Critical Conversations, an interdepartmental panel discussion series organized by the English Department Associate Chair’s office that invites University of Michigan faculty to present flash talks about their current research as related to a broad theme. He is also a co-coordinator for the Environmental Humanities Workshop, a Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop (RIW) that facilitates interdisciplinary research, discussion, and seeks to foster an accessible, structured scholarly community for Environmental Humanists.
