My name is dr. christina ong. If you’re here, you probably already knew that (or maybe not).

i use she/her pronouns.

i’m a sociologist and Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Nevada – Las Vegas in the Asian and Asian American Studies Program. My book project examines how political activism and artistic production around anti-imperialism, anti-racism, and anti-sexism influenced the development of Asian America in the 1970s-1980s through an in-depth case study of New York City’s the Basement Workshop.

i’m broadly interested in topics related to placemaking, diaspora, racial justice activism, and transnational feminisms. As a researcher and educator, i am always challenging myself to expand my skillset, employing both historical and digital methods whenever possible.

When i’m not working on my graduate studies, you can find me writing screenplays and producing my podcast, Seats At The Table.
