Speaker/Performer: Long Le-Khac
Description: “Transnarrative Communities and the Aesthetics of Stereotype”
Long Le-Khac is a doctoral candidate in English at Stanford University and a dissertation fellow at the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. His primary research interests are in Asian American, Latina/o, and 20th and 21st-century American literature. He has also pursued research in the Digital Humanities, which has been published in Victorian Studies and in the pamphlets of the Stanford Literary Lab. He is currently completing a dissertation entitled Transnarrative: Giving Form to Diversity, Community, and Migration in Asian American and Latina/o Literature. The project investigates the prominence of short story cycles and multi-plot forms in contemporary Asian American and Latina/o fiction and argues that this form has become so productive because its narrative tensions powerfully capture the social tensions with which these communities grapple.
