Tamara Ho joined the Women's Studies Department in 2006. Her research and teaching focus on the gendering of human rights, transnationalism, immigration, and intersections of race, ethnicity, and sexuality. Her areas of specialization include Asian American literature, Chicana/o literature, LGBT studies, Anglophone postcolonial studies, Southeast Asian diaspora, and transnational feminist politics. She is currently developing a book manuscript from her dissertation titled "Through a Burmese Looking-Glass: Transgression, Displacement, and Transnational Women's Identities." This project examines gendered displacement, human rights, and the politics of intimacy in the writing of Aung San Suu Kyi, George Orwell, Ma Ma Lay, Wendy Law-Yone, and Ma Thida. Her work has appeared in The Encyclopedia of Latinos and Latinas in the United States (edited by Deena J. González and Suzanne Oboler, 2005), A Resource Guide to Asian American Literature (edited by Sau-ling Wong and Stephen Sumida, 2001), Word Matters: Conversations with Asian American Authors (edited by King-Kok Cheung, 2000) and Amerasia Journal.
