Xinyi Lu

Xinyi Lu is a qualitative and a quantitative researcher, she received her training from her M.A as well as my M.B.A background.  Xinyi Lu’s research interests developed during her M.A., and that is how she became interested in the exploration of race and gender; her focus was on debunking structural violence against socially unprivileged, such as deconstructing the racialized and gendered violence in the US industrial prison complex, a work that was inspired through Foucault’s “Discipline and Punish” theories. She attended conferences and discussed such social justice issues with academics and people who are also actively seeking to make a better world and humanity. Now in her doctorate studies, her knowledge in our field has been systematically deepened and her understanding goes through continual and progressive reconceptualization. Xinyi’s research now primarily centers on race, gender, and class, but more specifically she would like to engage closely with racialized capitalism, decolonization, and imperialism empire with interdisciplinary inquiries.

She also works with arts and films; cultural and media artifacts; both historical and contemporary with transnational perspectives. Xinyi likes things that are beyond our present knowing. She wants to locate some liberation in wherever her eyes will look into, unearthing the beauty of it.
