May Chew is an Assistant Professor at the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema and Department of Art History at Concordia University. She received her PhD in Cultural Studies from Queen’s University, and held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at York University’s Sensorium Centre for Digital Arts & Technology. Her current research focuses on interactive and immersive technologies in diverse museum and exhibit spaces across Canada, and how these facilitate the material practice of nation and cultural citizenship.  This project approaches immersion not just in terms of its aesthetic and affective elements but through a critical genealogy that embeds immersion within longstanding trajectories of liberalism, settler colonial imaginaries, and decolonial interventions. Her other interests include haunting, diasporic media, and archives. Her work includes a chapter in the anthology Material Cultures in Canada (WLU Press, 2015); articles in Imaginations, the International Journal of Heritage Studies, the Journal of Canadian Art History; and Public 57: Archives/Counter-Archives, which she co-edited with Susan Lord and Janine Marchessault. She also collaborates on Archive/Counter-Archive, Ethnocultural Art Histories Research in Media, and Worlding Public Cultures.
