Senior Thesis

To fulfill the honors program requirements, I wrote my senior honors thesis on memory and post-colonialism in Southeast Asian Cinema. I blended personal essay with academic research and film criticism to better understand the role cinema plays in empire and colonialism, and how it can be used to subvert the colonial gaze.
