Mich Ling

Mich Ling is a researcher, writer, archivist, and organizer. Their research frames East Asian racialization and sexuality as unstable political technologies that emerge through modern struggles for sovereignty in a transpacific context. Using Black, Indigenous, and materialist feminist analytics, their book project traces settler and capitalist entanglements across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, primarily through the gendered, diasporic figure of the Asian exchange student. 

Mich (pronounced meesh) received their PhD in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Rutgers University this summer, and is currently a 2026-2027 Visiting Scholar at the A/P/A Institute at New York University.
