我的研究将种族和定居者殖民主义的批判性研究与自然科学历史与环境的对话。我对在土着土地上表演科学和环境工作的复杂道德，以及与土着和种族的社区有关的复杂道德。My first book, currently under preparation as "Invasive Ecologies: Science and Settler Colonialism in Twentieth-Century Hawai‘i," explores this issue through a history of invasion biology, natural preservation, and the U.S. national park system in Hawai‘i over the long twentieth century. The book is based on my dissertation, which won several awards, including the Rachel Carson Prize for best dissertation in environmental history from the American Society for Environmental History. My newer projects focus on Asian American relationships to nonhuman nature, species belonging, and the natural sciences.

我的教学利益跨越环境历史，科学史，亚洲美国研究和定居者殖民地研究。在Wellesley，我将在环境历史和环境正义中教授强调脱殖民和社会正义方法的环境司法。I believe that courses such as “Botany, Ecology, and Empire” or “Environmental Movements in US History” can complement students’ science training by helping them understand the historical, social, and political contexts of their work as environmental experts and their relationship to marginalized communities.

最近，我一直在进行更多的公共历史工作，包括与植物园和植物豆蔻的解释材料一起工作。我也是历史学家团队的一部分，这些历史学家致力于关于L.A.原始唐人街的公开项目，该项目由南加州南加州和亨廷顿 - USC加州和西部的亨廷顿USC研究所赞助。
