Eng-Beng Lim is Associate Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, the founding director of the Consortium of Studies in Race, Migration, and Sexuality at Dartmouth College, and Social Text editorial collective member. He is the author of the award-winning Brown Boys and Rice Queens: Spellbinding Performance in the Asias (NYU Press, 2014), which examines the legacies of queer colonialism in the performance of orientalist intimacies across Asia and Asia America.

He is working on his second monograph, Megastructures of Feeling, which extends Raymond Williams’s “structures of feeling” to architectural utopias and migration art that look to impossible form, stunning iconicity and futuristic fantasy as elusive styles that are at once evanescent in their manifestions and yet crucial in renewing the question of scale and stature as a racial and queer concept, particularly in Asia America.
