Meet Chris Suh

Chris Suh

Chris Suh is a fourth-year graduate student in the Department of History and the inaugural A3C Graduate Student in Residence for Undergraduate Research Support. As the Graduate Student in Residence, he will help undergraduate students develop research topics, write proposals and work on papers and presentations. Chris grew up in Seoul, South Korea, and Baltimore, MD before attending Brown University. There, he helped his advisor edit a book titled Major Problems in American Popular Culture, TAed two classes, tutored at a local public school and wrote a thesis on American writers' attempt to address issues of poverty, unemployment and racial inequality during the Great Depression. At Stanford, he is working on a dissertation that examines the various roles American-educated Asians and white American experts of Asia played in shaping US-East Asia diplomacy and American attitudes towards Asian immigrants. He is also a researcher for the collaborative project uncovering the lives of Chinese workers who worked on the first transcontinental railroad in the United States, the railroad responsible for the wealth of Leland Stanford and the founding of our University. In spring 2014, he will be teaching a seminar on thinking about the 20th-century United States through explorations of popular music.
