Cynthia Wu’s work focuses on how racialized masculinities are produced through investments in physical or psychosocial difference, queerness, and non-normative affiliations.
Currently, she is at work on two book projects—one on the U.S. military in the Asian American imagination and the other on the racial logics of copper as raw material, commodity, currency, element, toxin, symbol, object, and thing.
