Dawa T. Lokyitsang is a PhD candidate in the field of cultural anthropology at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA. Her dissertation research is on the establishment of sovereignty and nationalist subjects in exile by Tibetan refugees through the development of their own educational institutions and the larger diaspora community of Tibetans in India. In addition to her research focus, she is also interested in and has written about ways of belonging that are racialized and gendered within the Tibetan diaspora community. Lokyitsang is also concerned with questions of Chinese settler colonialism and its racialized impact on Tibetan subjectivities in colonized Tibet, Chinese imperialism more broadly, and the need for decolonization as a necessary praxis still (in Fanon fashion) for counteracting such ongoing mechanics of racialized modern colonialisms and imperialisms. Her scholarly writings have been featured in Lexington Books with forthcoming work with Duke University Press and Oxford University Press. Occasionally she writes for Lhakar Diaries, a well-liked blog run by and for Tibetans of which she is a co-founder. Lhakar Diaries is also where you will find most of her writings.
