WSQ: Asian Diasporas - Panel 1 - Diasporic Geographies

Panelists: Anita Baksh, Sokunthary Svay, Diane Wong & Rupa Pillai

An interdisciplinary exploration of Asian diasporas as gendering spaces that host uneven movements of bodies, identities, histories, and hegemonies.

Edited by Lili Shi & Yadira Perez Hazel, this issue of the award-winning academic journal decenters the Global North. It foregrounds gender in varied inquiries of Asian diasporas as comparative times and spaces. Scholars engage interdisciplinary approaches to examine the under-visited Asian diasporas, against the dominant narratives of identity, agency, migration, settlement, and Black-and-White notions of race.
