About Camellia Pham
A native of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at Harvard University. My research explores how translation, as an artistic practice, theoretical methodology, and intertextual metaphor, shapes the richly intersectional yet uniquely diverse literary communities of Southeast Asia. My interests include literary translingualism in colonial French Indochina (Tonkin, Annam, Cochinchina, Laos, and Cambodia), Vietnamese and East Asian (Chinese and Japanese) cultural exchange and language politics, Sinophone Southeast Asian literatures, and comparative modernisms in Southeast Asia. As an avid language learner of French, English, Chinese, and Japanese, I have lived, studied, and conducted research in Vietnam, the United States, and Taiwan.
