About
Trinity Ngo (she/her/hers) is a first-year PhD student in the English and Women’s & Gender Studies joint PhD program and a Rackham Merit Fellow. Her matrilineal connection to Taiwan informs her research on Taiwanese women’s diasporic narratives as vessels of historical preservation. Prompted by her undergraduate work at the Harry Ransom Center and familial history with Vietnamese refugeehood, she is interested in studying literature as a form of reparative history work for Southeast Asian Americans.
Prior to joining the University of Michigan, she spent her childhood in Houston, Texas, before attending the University of Texas at Austin, where she pursued an interdisciplinary education in English, Rhetoric & Writing, and Asian American Studies. While in Austin, she became a Mellon Mays undergraduate fellow, advised by Dr. Jeehyun Lim.
Interests: Post-1945 Asian American Literature, Diasporic Women’s Narratives, Ecocriticism
