Charmaine Chua, assistant professor of Global Studies and EAC faculty affiliate, was named a 2023 Freedom Scholar award from the Marguerite Casey Foundation. Her scholarship and organizing confront the global regimes of production and distribution that configure race and class inequalities, with a focus on how these inequalities are lived, contested, and overcome by anti-imperialist, anticapitalist, and abolitionist freedom struggles. Chua is currently writing two books, The Logistics Counterrevolution: Fast Circulation, Slow Violence, and the Transpacific Empire of Circulation and How to Beat Amazon: The Struggle of America's New Working Class (coauthored with Spencer Cox). Chua is a member of the EAC Advisory Board.
