SUMMARY:June Sex Salon: Reflections on Queer/Asia/Canada
DESCRIPTION:This panel brings together scholars working on several location
 s to rethink and cross the boundaries of areas and nation-states. Queering
  the boundaries between queer Asian diasporas in Canada and queer Asian st
 udies\, our panelists will explore the questions of belonging and identity
  for queer Asians under the condition of increasingly globalizing Asias on
  the one hand\, and growing anti-Asian racism on the other. We will collec
 tively imagine new ways of writing\, thinking and theorizing queer Asia th
 at cannot be easily mapped onto a particular area or nation-state. Instead
 \, we will identify the travel of ideas\, the fluidity of identification a
 nd the worldmaking of non-sovereign futures. Together\, we will unpack the
  depth and scope of queer/Asia/Canada\, and the work it can do to expand u
 nderstandings of queerness in globaling Asias\, and Asians in global queer
 ing.\n\nThis Sex Salon will be held virtually on Tuesday June 14th 2022\, 
 at 4PM Eastern Time. Register on Zoom to attend.\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKERS\n\n
