Biography

Chloé LUU (she/her) is a Ph.D. Student in Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture, in the French and Francophone Track at the University of Southern California. Born and raised in France, she previously graduated from the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon with a Master in Social Sciences.

Exploring the racial formations of Asians in France and their long history of politicization in separation with Black and North-African antiracist groups, her research engages with the notion of differential racialization under racial capitalism. While she looks at current French Asian reappropriations of antiracist discourse and practices of commodification of race, she is also interested in finding the traces of other Asian radical expressions of the past that would bear witness to and denounce colonial/capitalist exploitation.
