Bio
Janice Yu is a PhD candidate in the department of Rhetoric at UC Berkeley. Her dissertation primarily takes up representations of dead bodies as visual articulations of not only death but the human itself. She traces these formations specifically through an examination of photographs that position the dead racialized body as abject or other.
