Kylie Ching is a Ph.D. candidate in the department of Visual Studies at the University of California, Irvine. Her research interests are Asian American art and visual culture, contemporary American art, and feminist theory. Her dissertation examines how Asian diasporic visual artists critically reexamine and respond to American wars in the Asia-Pacific by engaging with private family photographs and wartime photography. She argues that her case studies, as products of gendered knowledge and memory keeping, unsettle dominant Cold War narratives by offering alternative mappings of belonging and memory.
