Charmaine Chua's interdisciplinary teaching and scholarship focuses on the social and spatial production of difference within global capitalist formations, and crosses the fields of international relations, global political economy, human geography, and political theory. Grounded in a commitment to historical materialist research and method, she is particularly interested in the ways in which planetary networks of production and distribution shape the organization of racialized and classed divisions within capitalist social formations, with particular attention to how these divisions are lived, contested, and overcome across anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist social movements.
