Discussion Topic
Jennifer Ho's main research interest is in the construction of
contemporary American identities—their articulation and
representation in such cultural productions as literature, film,
and popular culture. She is the author of Consumption and
Identity in Asian American Coming-of-Age Novels, published by
Routledge Press. Her next research project, tentatively titled
The Passing of Asians in America: Mixed Race, Minstrelsy, and
Yellowface in late 20th Century American Cultural Production,
looks at the trope of passing in film, literature, popular culture
and other forms of mass media as it pertains to Asian American
subjects in the 20th century.
