Briana teaches multicultural American literature, critical theory, postcolonial literature, and composition at Hunter College. Her research examines how various forms of inequality get exaggerated—even as the rhetoric of equality à la multiculturalism continues to gain traction—under global capitalism, and employs the body as a critical analytic with which to read a contemporary, transnational literary archive.
