Ho's research interests are in the fields of Asian American literature and culture, multiethnic American literature, contemporary American literature, critical race and ethnicity theory, anti-racism theory and praxis. She is working on a critical ethnic studies autobiography that will discuss her life (and those of her extended family) through the lens of intersectional oppression and what it has meant for her to make sense of her identity as an Asian American woman, daughter of immigrant parents, and critical race studies/Asian American studies scholar. In addition to her academic work, Ho is active in community engagement around issues of race and intersectionality, leading workshops on anti-racism and how to talk about race in our current political climate. She is particularly invested in public humanities work that centers social justice and anti-racism.
