His current research interests include Asian-American representation in contemporary cinema, portrayals of feminism and racial stereotypes in American films, and the post-war Italian wave. Outside of academics, Jackson enjoys writing music, reading short stories, and consuming as many Netflix cooking shows as possible while continuing to remain a terrible chef.
