Alexandra Delfarro
Alexandra Dalferro (she/her) grew up in Massachusetts and moved to the Bay Area in 2023 to work as the Program Director at the Center for Southeast Asia Studies at UC Berkeley. She holds a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from Cornell University, and she has spent over six years working and learning in Thailand and Cambodia. Her academic research about silk making and weaving among Khmer communities in Thailand is connected to her broader interest in facilitating exchange and understanding through arts of all kinds. Alexandra is passionate about using her training and language background to support Southeast Asian and Southeast Asian diaspora communities in the Bay Area and to find ways to continue emphasizing the relationships between US histories and Southeast Asian histories. She loves cats, bright colors, and (spicy) papaya salad. it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
