The Faculty History Project documents faculty members who have been associated with the University of Michigan since 1837. Key in this effort is to celebrate the intellectual life of the University. This Faculty History Website is intended as a component of the effort to document the extraordinary academic achievements of Michigan’s faculty in building and sustaining one of the world’s great universities. It provides access to a comprehensive database of information concerning the thousands of faculty members who have served the University of Michigan.

Media & Cultural Studies
Dr. See’s research and teaching interests range across the interdisciplines of empire and postcolonial studies and critical race studies as well as theories of gender and sexuality, narrative, and minoritized art, media, and performance. In her current book-length project “Against Accumulation,” an interdisciplinary study of epistemological, economic, and aesthetic politics, she juxtaposes an analysis of Marx’s concept of primitive accumulation with that of the phenomenon of accumulating the primitive—the barbarian, the uncivilized, the savage—by focusing on the representation of the Filipino in imperial museum collections as well as in Filipino American theatre, writing, and art. She is founder and executive director of the non-profit, web-based organization called the Center for Art and Thought, which launched its website in August 2013 in partnership with the UX design firm Behavior Design. She is the author of The Decolonized Eye: Filipino American Art and Performance (U of Minnesota Press, 2009).
