Professional Bio
Ernest Tjia is a first-year M.A. candidate at the Pennsylvania State University. His research interests lie at the intersections of (post)coloniality, affect studies, and gender studies. More precisely, he is interested in how the interminability of colonialism structures the contemporary self, with particular regard for and toward the questions of how knowledge about the self is produced. Following Sedgwick, he asks what those knowledges do and how they operate, circulate, and are made (il)legible to both the knower and others.
