Rebecca Oh is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her research and teaching lie at the intersection of global South literature and the environmental humanities. She is currently completing her first book manuscript, tentatively titled Reading Better States: Utopian Method and Environmental Harm in the Global South which considers how postcolonial states are imagined as both bad actors and sites of appeal. These plural roles mediate how the future is imagined from within long-term environmental harms and climate change. She is beginning a second project on infrastructure and the genre she calls apocalyptic realism. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Interventions, ISLE, Modern Fiction Studies, Ariel, and elsewhere.
