About Yi Ning Chang

I work at the intersections of political theory and history, and my current research focuses on 1940s–50s Malay(si)a, Singapore and, increasingly, Vietnam. The projects I'm working on at the moment have to do with race, anticolonial thought, and the making of the postcolonial states in these places and at this time. I also have broader interests in international law and politics, especially where they intersect with anticolonial political thought.

Yi Ning Chang is a PhD student in political theory at the Department of Government at Harvard University. She works on the history of contemporary political thought, postcolonial theory, and the global histories of anticolonialism and anti-imperialism in Southeast Asia.
