Brianna Cheng is fascinated by the workings of US empire, particularly in relation to global imperial history, Asian America, and migration in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her research aims to unearth how varying, and often contradictory, transnational constructions of race, gender, and sexual difference structured imperial governance.
