Their\u00a02012 book, Animacies: Biopolitics, Racial Mattering, and Queer Affect (Duke UP, MLA\u00a0Alan Bray Award), explores questions of racialization, queering, disability, and affective\u00a0economies in animate and inanimate \u201clife\u201d through the extended concept of animacy.\u00a0Chen\u2019s current book project concerns relationships among the conceptual territories\u00a0of toxicity and intoxication and related histories of the shared interanimation of race\u00a0and disability. Elsewhere, Chen writes on slowness, gesture, inhumanisms, and\u00a0cognitive disability and method. They co-edit a book series entitled \u201cAnima\u201d at\u00a0Duke University Press and are part of a small and sustaining queer of color arts\u00a0collective in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n
