research overview
- Angie Chuang's research focuses on race, identity and news-media representations of Otherness. Her forthcoming book, American Otherness in Journalism: News Media Representations of Identity and Belonging (Routledge, November 2025) examines print, broadcast, and online news media portrayals of American identity with regards to race, immigration status, and Whiteness. These studies include news phenomena spotlighting Asian Americans, African Americans, Muslim Americans, Latine Americans, and others. They show that news-media constructions of American identity are highly complex and contextual, based on historically rooted perceptions of Self and Other, beyond legalistic signifiers of Americanness such as citizenship or residency. She also writes literary journalism, narrative nonfiction and memoir that explore similar issues of identity in the form of the immigrant experience and cultural identity. Angie has served as a trainer and consultant for major media companies including Atlantic Media, Bloomberg Industry Group, National Public Radio, and more.
