Tara Fickle graduated from Wesleyan University in 2006 with a double major in English and East Asian Studies. Her interests are focused on Asian American Studies, particularly questions of authenticity, race and cultural identity. Her senior thesis explored communities of Asian adoptees and their positioning in American racial hierarchies and literature, and the question of the modern American family. She is also interested in Jazz Age American literature and contemporary ethnic literatures. Outside of school, Tara's interests include snowboarding, cooking, road trips and discovering new music."
