Unpacking the Term 'Asian': Challenges and Solidarities
Unpacking the Term 'Asian': Challenges and Solidarities
This roundtable features faculty, students, and community members exploring what it means to be “Asian” at this moment, in Canada, and in the world. Panelists will discuss some of the ways that this general term might obscure the many kinds of conflicts and differences within and among South, Southeast, East Asian, and Pacific Islander communities. The panel will also explore the kinds of solidarities and coalitions that are possible among Asians and with other communities. These issues are especially important as we witness the rise of anti-Asian racism and violence in connection with COVID-19 in Canada and the US.
THE PANEL:
Bethany M. Iyoupe is an undergraduate student, writer, and community organizer with a special interest towards pre- and post-colonial studies with an intersectional lens.
Dr. Sailaja Krishnamurti is the coordinator of the Asian Studies program at Saint Mary’s University, where she also teaches in the Religious Studies and Women and Gender Studies programs.
Nick Dzuy ‘GenNew’ Nguyen is a Breaking (‘Breakdance’) facilitator and teacher who has worked primarily with youth for nearly a decade.
Dr. Xiaoping Sun teaches Chinese history at Saint Mary’s University. Dr. Sun researches the evolution of China’s state farm system and its socio-ecological impacts.
Moderated by Dr. Rohini Bannerjee, Department of Modern Languages & Classics

In Troumaron, an impoverished area of Port-Louis, the capital of Mauritius island, four youngsters tell us about their fight for their survival: Sadiq, the would-be poet, Eve, who prostituted herself as a child to obtain school materials, Clelio filled with his anger against the world, and Savita, 'the good girl' who wants to escape but finds all avenues are closed. Eve has a plan for her and Savita to get away. But it will go terribly awry, and its tragic consequences will lead them into a spiral of violence.
