Jeannie Shinozuka is Visiting Assistant Professor in International Studies. Her book project, Biotic Borders: Transpacific Plant and Insect Migration and the Rise of Anti-Asian Racism in America, 1890-1950 (University of Chicago Press) charts the co-production of race and species over half a century in the human and more-than-human worlds, focusing on Japanese plant, insect, and human immigrants across the Pacific Ocean. US officials targeted Japanese plant, insect, and human immigrants for fear of San José scale, chestnut blight, citrus canker, the Oriental termite, the Japanese beetle, and other invasions.
Location: Curie Hall 200
