Lecturer
History/Critical Race and Ethnic Studies
Born and raised on Guam, I am, at heart, an islander, a factor that informs my research interests and approaches to the greater Pacific region. My interests are in transnational tourism and urban development in the Pacific Rim region from the mid 20th century to the present. In particular I examine in the parallel development of the "sister islands" of Jeju, South Korea and the Hawai'ian Islands. Beyond this long-term research, I am also interested in urban humanities and cross-Pacific vernacular cultures.
