About

Amy B. Huang holds a PhD in Theatre Arts and Performance Studies from Brown University. Her book project, Circuits of Secrets on British and American Stages, focuses on how theatre’s secrecy engages with the power relations and racist imaginaries attached to slavery, settler colonialism, Orientalism, and Chinese exclusion. Her work has appeared in Theatre Survey and the Routledge edited volume, Milestones in Asian American Theatre. Her research has been inspired and supported by the Library Company of Philadelphia, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Harrison Institute at UVA, the Newberry Library, and Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library. She is so incredibly excited to be joining the community at Bates College!
