Description
“What Difference Does ‘Asian Canadian’ Make? Power, Knowledge, and Resistance”
An Asian Canadian studies graduate student conference entitled “What Difference Does Asian Canadian Make? Power, Knowledge, and Resistance”, will take place at the University of Toronto on March 28, 2014. This one-day, interdisciplinary conference will focus on the provocation of ‘Asian Canadian’ – including the application of such a lens in and of itself, but also its potential contributions to fields such as anti-racism, migration, geography, sexual and gender diversity, diaspora and transnational studies, history and more.
Our aim for the conference is to help develop the field of Asian Canadian studies by facilitating critical dialogue among students and with faculty. In particular, we aim to present the pivotal questions that face Asian Canadian studies scholars by showcasing scholarly presentations from graduate students across Canada and beyond.
The conference keynote speakers will be Professor Enakshi Dua and Professor Bonita Lawrence from York University who will revisit their groundbreaking co-authored article, “Decolonizing Anti-Racism.” Our closing panel will feature Professor Rinaldo Walcott and Kenneth Huynh (PhD Candidate) from OISE.
