Bio

Faye Christine Caronan is an Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado, Denver. In 2008 she received the Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. She specializes in Comparative Ethnic Studies and the study of U.S. Imperialism. Currently she is working on two research projects. The first examines how Filipino American and U.S. Puerto Rican culture challenges the ends of colonialism marked by narratives of U.S. exceptionalism by representing how U.S. power does not withdraw from Philippine and Puerto Rican affairs but transitions. Her second project looks at the role that race played in the imagining of the U.S. nation and its empire in the Pacific in the first half of the 20th century.
