Claudia Sadowski-Smith specializes in late 20th and 21st century multiethnic US literatures, migration studies, border studies, and fiction of the US Southwest. She is the author of The New Immigrant Whiteness: Race, Neoliberalism, and Post-Soviet Migration to the United States (New York U. Press, 2018), which places post-USSR migration in the context of discussions about the racialization of contemporary US immigrants under neoliberalism, and Border Fictions: Globalization, Empire, and Writing at the Boundaries of the United States (U. of Virginia Press, 2008), which explores multiethnic cultural productions about the US borders with Canada and Mexico. In addition, Sadowski-Smith is the editor of Globalization on the Line: Culture, Capital, and Citizenship at U.S. Borders (Palgrave, 2002) and the editor or co-editor of a Comparative Literature Studies special issue on the cultures of global post/socialism, a Twentieth-Century Literature special issue on postsocialist US literatures, and a Comparative American Studies special issue on comparative border studies. She has published articles on climate migration fiction, reality TV, transnational adoption, studies of the US-Mexico and US-Canada borders, and the internationalization of American studies in such journals as American Quarterly, American Studies, South Atlantic Quarterly, European Journal of Cultural Studies, and Diaspora. From 2014 to 2017, Sadowski-Smith served as the Principal Investigator for a US State Department-funded cooperation between ASU and Kinnaird College, Pakistan, which focused on globalizing the research and teaching of US literature.
