Linyuan Zeng

Linyuan’s research interests focus on securitization, technology, racialization, and gendered coloniality. Specifically, she studies how masculine security states have employed global security strategies to surveil gendered and racialized bodies and intimate relationships in both the past and the present. She is also interested in subaltern knowledge, embodied experiences, and collective responses to state scrutiny. Currently, she is studying the historical biometric identification systems that classified and controlled racialized groups during the colonial era in East Asian contexts.
