Julie Thi Underhill is an interdisciplinary artist, author, scholar, and educator based in California. Through her focus on the Chăm/Cham—an Austronesian people indigenous to Việt Nam—she is interested in vocabularies of remembrance, amidst continuously remade notions of identity, belonging, and home. Underhill’s forthcoming book, Descendants of Champa: Portraits of Việt Nam and Cambodia, will feature her photographic portraits from 1999 to 2010 prefaced by a historical memoir essay. She previously received a Rockefeller Fellowship from the William Joiner Institute for the Study of War and Social Consequences at the University of Massachusetts-Boston and a Chancellor’s Fellowship from the University of California-Berkeley. Underhill holds a B.A. in Liberal Arts from The Evergreen State College and an M.A. in Ethnic Studies from UC Berkeley. She teaches in the Writing and Literature department at California College of the Arts in San Francisco.
