KEE HOWE YONG
Assistant Professor

Kee Howe Yong received his Ph.D. in Social Anthropology from the Graduate Center, City University of New York. He has done research on communism and the displacement of Chinese Hakkas in post-Cold War Sarawak, Malaysia and has written on various aspects of the silencing of this history. Kee has published with the American Ethnologist, Critique of Anthropology, and Anthropological Quarterly. Like his research in Sarawak, his current project is concerned with the ways in which regimes of fear affect the way the powerless relate to one another and to those in authority. His current focus is on the violent conflicts in the Malay Muslim provinces of southern Thailand, specifically on the allegory of things past amongst Malay Muslims. Besides the Cooper Union, Kee also teaches in the Paul McGhee Division, New York University.
