Ronak Kapadia

I am interdisciplinary cultural theorist of race, sexuality, and empire in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century United States. Currently, I am completing my first book, Insurgent Aesthetics: Race, Security, and the Sensorial Life of Empire (Duke University Press, forthcoming), which is on contemporary South Asian, Muslim, and Arab American visual art in the context of war and empire. For this project, I seek a student researcher interested in critical ethnic and postcolonial studies, queer and feminist studies, and/or visual culture and performance studies.
