What is it about?
Throughout her academic career, Rey Chow contributed important research on the sinophone parts of the postcolonial world. Her work explains the epistemic violence and aporia of cold war political thought as well as the more subtle yet far-reaching negotiations, entanglements and shifts in academic, aesthetic and/or cultural outlooks between East Asia and the West.
