H. L. T. Quan is an associate professor of justice and social inquiry affiliate faculty member of African/African American Studies, Asian Pacific American Studies and Women's and Gender Studies in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. She is a political theorist and an award-winning documentary filmmaker. Her research centers on race, gender and radical thought. Professor Quan's monograph, "Growth Against Democracy: Savage Developmentalism in the Modern World" (Lexington Books, 2012) is a radical critique of modern development thinking and programs, including neoliberalism and corporate globalization. Her current book project focuses on ungovernability, anarchy and tools for democratic living. She is also conducting research on the historical and political development of Black capitalism in the United States, with Darryl T. Thomas (Penn State University). Her writings can be found in Social Identities, Race & Class, Meridians, Signs, and the edited volume, "Race & Human Rights" (ed. Curtis Stokes). She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on social/cultural theories; theoretical perspectives on justice; justice and utopias, community research; race, gender and consciousness; wealth and poverty; social protests; and, Black movements in America.
As a documentary filmmaker, Professor Quan is a co-founder and member of QUAD Productions, a not-for-profit production company that produces media for progressive community organizations and activists. Through QUAD and in collaboration with C. A. Griffith (ASU School of Theatre and Film), she has co-directed, co-produced, and co-edited more than half a dozen short and feature length socially relevant documentaries. Their work includes "America's Home" (2011: 67 min), a visually stunning and haunting film about gentrification, displacement and popular resistance in San Juan, Puerto Rico and "Mountains that take Wing -- Angela Davis & Yuri Kochiyama: A Conversation on Life, Struggles & Liberation" (2009: 97 min, Women Make Movies). This award-winning film features conversations spanning 13 years between Angela Davis, an internationally acclaimed activist and philosopher, and Yuri Kochiyama, an 86-year-old community activist and a former confidant of Malcolm X. The film showcases two extraordinary women who found themselves in the midst of some of the most important social movements of the 20th century. Professor Quan also has worked on radio and access television public affairs programs for more than 15 years.
