Biography

Dr. Ford studies the connections between micro (individual) and macro (national/transnational/global) histories. Building on her research on Hong Kong-U.S. connections and transformations in U.S. American and “Americanized” women’s lives, she is currently finishing a book on manhood, leadership, and Transpacific cultural production in the late 20th/early 21st centuries. Selected Asian and Asian American/Asian Diasporic narratives constitute a diverse archive revealing men’s multifarious and globally recognized performances of leadership in cinema, memoir, television, Internet pedagogy, and popular literature. Intersectional, transnational, and feminist frameworks, as well as scholarship on the deep and diverse histories of gender and manhood in Asia and Asian America illuminate men’s often contradictory desires to re-envision as well as reify conventional notions of leadership, power, and influence.
