I am a PhD candidate in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at The Ohio State University. I am a feminist interdisciplinary scholar whose research analyzes how Asian and Asian American women become visible as “deserving victims” in the archives. I grapple with the following questions: How does the visibility of Asian and Asian American women’s victimhood render them passive, without complex personhood? How does their visibility as victims silence their daily negotiations within oppressive circumstances? How does it fail to contextualize the compounding systems of oppression for which they must navigate? Thus, I have developed “Asian Women’s Complex Personhood” (AWCP) as a theoretical framework to situate the complexity of Asian and Asian American women at the crossroads of sex trafficking, sex work, and migration.
