DCC 28: Mimi Thi Nguyen "New Wave Party Girl....or Monster HIgh Doll"

Mimi Thi Nguyen is an associate professor of Gender and Women's Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Illinois. Her research interests are war, empire and...zines! I first encountered her work via her amazing blog (a collaboration with Minh Ha T Pham) called Threadbared . Her zine work includes Slander, Race Riot (that link is to a pdf made possible by the POC zine project !), and a couple years ago Guillotine Press put out a chapbook called PUNK, a conversation beween Golnar Nikpour and Mimi. Her first book is called "The Gift of Freedom: War, Debt and other Refugee Passages" (Duke 2012). Her website is here. She describes her looks a "New wave party girl who is forced to teach", although her 9 yo friend thinks she looks like a Monster High Doll. She also made some awesome book and music recommendations.
