In August 2015, I started a long-distance creative exchange entitled Reimagining Citizenship with the other members of the Post Natyam Collective, Sandra Chatterjee and Meena Murugesan.  This process-oriented research entwines theoretical and creative explorations on citizenship and its exclusions.  How does a modern nation-state decide who has the right to be a full citizen, and by extension, to be treated as fully human?  Researching citizenship in multiple geographic and historic contexts, our areas of research include anti-blackness in South Asia and its diaspora, anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe, and the histories of Han Chinese colonizers and indigenous peoples in Taiwan.  Check out our blog (www.postnatyam.blogspot.com) to see our latest assignments, writings, and creative studies — and please give feedback in the form of blog comments if you are so moved!
