Maile Aihua Young is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Their research examines the post-1945 development of global public health culture through epidemiology and Asian diasporic literature. Reconsidering the limitations of how epidemiology constructs race, territory, and life as fixed categories, they track how the Asian figure has been interpellated through disease in scientific and cultural production to imagine an Asian American life not at odds with disease. They also serve as the co-convener for the Asian/American Studies Collective and the graduate assistant for the Health Justice and Community Initiative.
